It's strange, because sometimes I can see something like page 3-7 of xxx. For sure there are not 6000 characters displayed at once!

The way Sony displays page numbers on the status line is to display the ADE number and a sub-number. So you see 3 ADE page number and a sub-number of 7 within that main number. The number of available sub-numbers varies since it is a virtual page number based in the screen and font size. Images will also increase the screen number but not the ADE number. The idea of the ADE number is to have a single number that can be referenced like a book reference you sometimes see in academic works so it should not change based on font size or screen size. This is unique to ADE implementation and is not in the ePUB standard. PDF can also have a page number but it is based on a real paper edition book. It is possible for ADE ePUB to have a real page number based on the paper edition book but generally you do not see that in the ePUBs you read since they would require special custom conversions to support this ADE unique feature. ADE has other unique features as well as quirks. Read about it in our wiki.
