Try this test. Jump to a new chapter and then back up one page. Look at the page and see if it is a full page down to the bottom. Now go to the previous chapter and work your way forward to that same page. Does it look the same? If not this the document is not paginated. It is easy to fake a page number that represents the distance into the file or other measures. MobiPocket is pretty good at hiding the repagination issue. For example it temporarily remembers some pagination such that if you read to a new chapter going forward and then back up a page it will look ok since it remembers where it was while going forward.

Also a paginated document knows the last page number always. Does mobi know? A progress bar is easy to show based on file sizes.
