1) Have at least one book with page numbers working from amazon
2) Have enabled sending page numbers in the kindle driver in calibre
regarding#1: as you know, not all amazon ebooks display page numbers, but transferring them from within Calibre has resulted in 100% success in this area for me with mobi files, whether or not the amazon book natively has page numbers. But not so with azw3 on the paperwhite, thus far.

#2: trying to find calibre driver that enables sending page numbers. But given the fact that it transfers them with my mobi files, wouldn't that indicate that it's already on?

Lastly, this may all be a moot point because I tried reading with the PW last night...always in the wee hours with backlight on...and compared with my kindle Keyboard & kindle keyboard cover with light combo, the paperwhite had an annoying, purplish, unnatural glow -- not conducive to the fluid reading experience with the KKB.
