Jump to page 67 and notice that you are 5 pages off.

I've just tried the experiment on the PC version - it's just as bad.
Here's what I did.
I loaded one of my books (Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey") and paged through it until I got to the start of chapter 7. The status bar showed page 52. I went back to the start of the book, and then did a "goto page 52". Did this take me to the start of chapter 7? No - it actually took me almost to chapter 8. I had to page back 14 pages - to what was now shown as page 38- in order to find the start of chapter 7, so that's a discrepency of 14 pages in 52.
Page numbers are virtually meaningless in ALL versions of the Mobi reader. I rest my case!
