Here's an interesting blog post (short) about page number mapping in ADE EPUB.

Page numbers really don't make much sense in reflowable formats. Yet as a reader, I know it's nice to have some idea of both how long the book is, and where I am in the book - and there's as many implementations of these features as there's e-book readers. I've gotten used to Kindle's 'locations', but it was rather confusing at first and I still don't like it.
