Amazon's page number mechanism on non-Amazon ebooks??
Supposedly, epub format books purchased elsewhere and converted to mobi for the Kindle 3 can end up getting Amazon's print-edition page number info.

Anyone seen this or know if it's true?

If true, how does it happen?
I would have thought that the page number info was tied to a specific filename or ASIN, but if converted books get the info, then it must be based on title/author metadata or similar? Surely the Kindle isn't phoning home ebook CONTENT to Amazon?

Thanks for any insight?
