I did test Mobipocket Reader and the page numbers don't work properly. They only seems to work when paging forward. Jumping to a specific page gives you a completely different place in the book then if you paged forward to what is supposed to be the same page. So yes, HarryT is 100% correct in that page numbers are broken.
It is indeed in the thread, Jon - but easily overlooked among everything else. I reported that paging forward to a particular point in the book (in my case, the start of chapter 4) resulted in the book being on page 52, but then going back to the start of the book and doing a "goto page 52" took me to a different place, from which I had to page back 14 pages to get back to what had previous been shown as page 52, but which had now become page 38.

That's why I believe that page numbers are pretty useless on Mobi devices, and hence Bookeen's decision not to display them is a rational one.
