Quoting here because it's more a Kobo question than a Calibre question:

KePub us mostly one screen is one page. So your settings such as line height, font size, and margins can change the total number of pages.
The issue isn't which page I'm on. I expected that to change, because I was aware of the difference in page numbering systems going in. But if I'm 31% of the way through the book, I'm 31% of the way through the book, whether I'm on page 31 of 100 or page 93 of 300 or anything else.
