Yeah, there's something strange going on there. I chose an Amazon-purchased book that had no page number file (Scott Nicholson's excellent "The First") and generated an APNX for it using the new calibre plugin, then copied that to the "My Kindle Content" folder. Kindle4PC displayed page numbers for the book, no problem.

I then took a non-Amazon mobi file, generated the APNX, and copied both to the "My Kindle Content" folder. This time, no page numbers displayed in K4PC. However, when I copied that book and APNX file to my K3, the page numbers did display.

This is no problem for me, since I only use K4PC to check out samples and for its usefulness in deDRMing my purchases. What little reading of mobi files that I do on my PC is done with mobipocket's reader, which generates its own page numbers. I read pretty much all of my books on the Kindle, but can see where this could be a problem for others who use apps.
