The real page number navigation feature is still eluding me. There IS a need for it, I think, for being able to cite passages from academic books that have previously been published on print.

Kindle Direct Publishing will add real page numbers after uploading onto KDP, but only in defined circumstances, which do not appear to include books that have already gone out of print. That's a pity, because one might expect that to be a common reason for wanting to publish an ebook version.

I have added a pageList section to the NCX file and anchors in the source file, but no luck so far. The NCX and APNX entries in the Wiki give a helpul lead, but they don't explain how to get to the end result in a practical way.

If anyone has any practical success in getting that to work, it would be great to hear about it here.
