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.

If there is a PDF version of the book in the calibre library, it might be possible to get the page mapping from there. And it would be really cool feature, by the way, especially for people reading scientific stuff that mostly comes in PDFs now and that has to be citable.
