There is no publically avaliable information that maps places in an ebook to a page in a print edition. The only sources right now are purchased books. If you buy the book with this info there is no need to generate an APNX (or NCX) yourself to approximate.

Well, if you wrote the book you would have a copy, or perhaps getting one from a library or mapping from a PDF. I do agree that it is not an easy task unless the source program containing your book source can do it for you. I suspect this will happen soon now that it is defined. Since the ADE method does not create a legal ePUB file and the NCX method does I would hope Adobe will see the light and switch.
