Tell me about the ONE TRUE PAGE NUMBERS again...

As for your screen/page 305 and 97 screen/pages to go? That depends on many options though if you are reading on a Kobo, it does show the book and chapter page counts which for a kepub is close to a screen per page. It is not really transferable to another device since someone else may be using a different font, different line heights, different margins, etc. even when reading the same edition of the ebook. That is the only good item I find with Adobe's Synthetic Page Numbers algorithm where page 259 is page 259 regardless of formatting choices.
And screen size is not relevant as well for ADE page numbers.
