Are you using ePubs or kepubs? Because the behavior you are describing sounds like ePub, which tries to use a fixed amount of characters to equal a page.

I use kepub and the '1 screen=1 page' is mostly accurate. It's not perfect, but for the most part, every screen flip changes the page number for me.

Of course, kepub page count would be useless in the Kobo store, where I believe they use ePub pages for length.
