It was free for a few hours, for US customers.
Many other books do have page numbers (not that I care - I don't belong to a book club and no longer need to do citations; which can be done using Kindle locations, anyway).
Also, not sure why anyone cares about having to hit the menu button to see them, since you have to do that to get the title and author, now. I do wish that Amazon had given us back that extra line of reading space and would turn on the justification menu by default (it was the FIRST thing I corrected on the original Kindle). As for books that don't support it - you can fix those without DRM, by stripping out that info, but it isn't easy, sometimes. If the Kindle had a sophisticated hyphenation algorithm, then fixing justification wouldn't be required, but some books are nearly unreadable at full justification, due to the excessive and oddly placed whitespace.
Also, their rating system only ties into the poor management on the kindle.amazon page, not the Shelfari pages (where you can do at least some limited searches, but which is also not a good place to try to manage a few thousand books). It would be much better if that info were stored in the MBP file, so it could be imported to Calibre (or even librarything), where book management is much more robust.
