Has anyone tried with the new version of K4PC? (I'm still on 1.0.1 or such) I saw someone here say a new version came out yesterday - not sure if it's the update Amazon said would support page numbers.

I'm wondering, because I read that the apnx file works with mobis, so I wonder if you could do it that way... take the apnx file from the K4pc download and rename it to match the kindle's azw file or a mobi version of it...
Hmmm... interesting!

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of K4PC, then went to the "Manage my Kindle" page and downloaded the same book I used for the previous test, this time to the K4PC app.

When I opened the book, K4PC isn't showing page numbers, but when I checked on my hard drive, the .apnx file is there.

So... I deleted the book again from my Kindle, switched wireless off, side loaded the .azw file again, copied the .apnx file from the K4PC content directory, renamed it to match the file name of the .azw file, then side loaded the renamed .apnx file onto the Kindle. Unplugged the Kindle from USB and opened the book, and the page numbers show up fine.

So for those who can't or prefer not to fire up the wireless connection on their Kindle, this might be an alternative route to getting the page number file. Good thinking Piper!
