Anyone familiar with Kindle plugin page count?

Is anyone familiar with how Calibre does the page number calculations for the Kindle?

I like this new feature but I'd like to find a way to make it more accurate, assuming there is anything at all I can do to influence its calculations in any way. I have a book I'm currently reading that shows 219 pages. If I check the slow but more accurate option it registers 242 page. The actual paper book has 292 pages. At best, it's off by about 20%.

I know some of my ebooks actually have built-in anchors showing what corresponds to a certain page in the paper book. Unfortunately, niether Calibre or my Kindle seem to make use of these.

Is there anything I can do, tags or anchors I can add to flag pages that would improve this?

I just want to make it clear that I'm not complaining about the feature. I'm merely trying to find a way to improve on it. Thanks guys and thanks to Kovid for this wonderful tool.

Sincerely,
- Byron
