This is useless as I want to know how many pages I have until the end of the chapter.
This has only happened with books that have recently loaded. All previously loaded books still have the number of pages in the chapter.
Is this a feature of the new version of Calibre or is there a setting that I have missed somewhere?

At a wild eyed guess, you are no longer converting from .epub to .kepub.epub when the books are being copied to your Kobo from Calibre. Perhaps the Kobo Touch Extended driver has been disabled and you are using the standard Kobo Touch driver? The page number is not random BTW, it is the result of calculating the number of 1024 byte blocks for each chapter and totalling them to get the number of pages in the book. This gives a page number which is independent of the font size/screen size/whatever.

David
