I'd also note that the last page number (in this case '563') was applied to content that almost certainly spreads over more than one physical page. The ebook edition puts the copyright page at the end, as well as a cover image, these should not be labeled as being page '563'. Okay, so it is not perfect, at least in this case.
What they do in those i, ii, iii, iv and end sections is just not show any page number. Location numbers still show.

I assume the .apnx comes along when you download the book, the other two might be updated with each sync.
It comes when you connect to whispernet. (3g or wifi)
(I did do a "sync & check" from the menu the first time, but not the second, and they still came.

Note that they only send them for the books that are in your archive - if you used another account to buy a book, you have to re-register into that account to get the page file.
