I buy most of my books from Amazon, and these days they generally come with a ".apnx" file which provides page numbers.

I store all my books in Calibre, and load then on my Kindle in the same way.

I know that it doesn't really fit in with Calibre's goals of device independence, but it would be really nice if Calibre were able to store the ".apnx" file associated with a book, and transfer that to the Kindle along with the book, when the book is sent to the device.

Is there any way that this can - or could - be achieved?

(I know there's an "apnx" plug in which will generate a "pseudo-apnx" file; that's not what I'm talking about here; I'd like to store and use the proper apnx file that comes from Amazon.)
