The page numbers are provided by the APNX file. If it is named the same as the MOBI file then there is something wrong with the APNX file.

Currently the APNX is only generated by calibre when sending a supported format (MOBI, AZW, PRC with BOOKMOBI internal type) to the Kindle using "Send to Device." This is when it happens but the calibre.devices.kindle.apnx.APNXBuilder class could be used outside of the device interface to generate an APNX. A GUI plulgin for instance could be written which calls APNXBuilder.write_apnx and creates an APNX for a specified MOBI file.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of people wanting to have and use APNX files with the Kindle PC and iPad apps I plan on creating a GUI plugin to do this very thing tomorrow. Also, I'm tired of people asking about it and how to do it.
