I tried searching the forum for this but I just got a lot of slightly different page count issues. So apologies if this is a repeat...

Recently when uploading some epubs (epub3), I've been getting some really weird page counts on my Kobo.

For example, a normal length book has a page count of 3000 when with my usual font size I'd expect around 400-500, with the page count jumping several hundred pages when going from the last page of chapter 1 to chapter 2.
The chapter itself then may be 150 pages long (at least that's the count at the top), but when flipping through those 100+ pages the count at the bottom will only increase by 6 pages.
Now this is only a minor annoyance and I don't expect the page counts to reflect printed books or anything, but I do like knowing roughly how far along I am through a book. And this isn't doing it.

Does anyone know what's causing this? How can I fix it?
