So when unmodified did the commercial epub properly showed page numbers in iOS/ipad Books?

When unmodified did the toc links work without fragment identifiers in iOS/iPad?p Books?

Then you modified the commercial epub and then both stopped working?

Unlike most epub readers, Books on ios, open the epub the very first time they are added, identifying and caching cover images, embedded fonts, and etc. This could include toc and page numbering.

So if you modify any epub you must first fully delete it (and that cache information) from your Books library *before* adding the modified book back to the Books.app. Otherwise the old cached information is used and not properly recreated.
