How do I generate page numbers?

Thanks a lot.
On the phone it's in /var/mobile/Applications/APPFOLDER/Library/eBooks. I use a jailbroken tool, iFile, to find which app folder it is; they are hash strings.

I copy directly to my Kindle, I don't use Calibre very much. Doing it that prevents some of the automatic stuff like Calibre copying the book cover and the apnx file, but I prefer to have the ASINs matching so it's a matter of preference, really.

Yes, the original mobi is the one before it was emailed. The emailed file becomes a .azw.

I use an APNX Generator plugin, which is really just a manual way to do what Calibre does automatically with its send to device.

Again, messing around with all that stuff will break your existing sync and may not sync properly afterwards... it doesn't seem to work in all cases, still not sure why yet...
