Basically you just need to rename the APNX files and copy all the APNX files from Kindle -> Documents to Kindle -> Library -> PageNumbers and all the MOBI files to Kindle -> Libray -> eBooks folder. Below are the steps you can follow for the iFile method: - rename your generated APNX file to "book-asin-number.apnx", not the mobi file's name. For example if your book name is "My Book.mobi" and it has the ASIN # as "B00001", the APNX file should be named "B00001.apnx" and not "My Book.apnx"
- connect to itunes, drag & drop all the books(mobi) and renamed APNX files to the Kindle app
- open iFile, then go to Sidebar -> Application -> Kindle -> Documents, hit "Edit" and choose "Cut" for all the files with APNX extension, hit "Done"
- go to parent dir, then Library -> PageNumbers, hit "Edit" and paste all the APNX file here
- go back to the "Documents" folder, "cut" all the mobi files you would like to have page number enabled
- go to parent dir, then Library -> eBook, hit "Edit" and paste all the MOBI files here
Now you should have page number enabled on the iPad for the books you've copied. |
Thank you, shinew, for your very helpful response. I would have never figured this out on my own.
