If this is too off topic, I apologize, you can ignore this question if I'm steering the topic away from OP too much.

In my experience, books that don't have an hb/pb copy do not get ANY page numbers, at least, when viewing the book from your actual Kindle.
And if you have transferred the book via calibre's send-to-device, then by default it will create a pseudo-page-numbers APNX based on an arbitrary guess.
(I always turn this off, I prefer no page numbers to fake ones.)
The Kindle does not display page numbers unless it was sent an APNX (calibre or Amazon servers makes no difference).

Page numbers are based off file offsets, not the current font size. For pretty much that exact reason, I'd assume.
