Depending on the implementation (like maybe the format of that .apnx file that someone mentioned) maybe other book sellers could implement a compatible feature...but I doubt it.
And even if Amazon was inclined to do it for books they didn't sell, I would not be happy about them snooping around in my non-Amazon books.

It seems like Calibre eventually would be able to create an .APNX file that the kindle could read. I've looked into the guts of ePub books (using Calibre) and some books have tags in the HTML that indicate real page numbers. If you are converting ePub to mobi, then it seems like Calibre could look at the ePub and create an .APNX file to provide us with page numbers. But regular ol' mobi files bought/downloaded from somewhere else probably won't be able to show page numbers on kindle.
