If you enable showing Adobe EPUB page numbers in your Kobo's settings and are reading ePub (not kepub), you will see page numbers on the side of the page that do not change with font size changes (similar to Amazon APNX page numbering). While reading an ePub. changing the font size does not alter the book page count. Kepub does use page per screen. You can also have page numbers from a print edition embedded in an ePub using any one of several methods to store the page map.

You can go back and read several threads with arguments over which is best.
