If that is the case, and there is a value in the #pages column when you send the book to the device, then it isn't a problem with this plugin.
And that last statement reminds me to ask the obvious question: Are you running Count Pages for the books before sending them to the device?

Yes you're right sorry I wasn't clear. After transferring a MOBI or AZW3 file to my Kindle Paperwhite, I still only see Loc, Mins left in chapter, and Mins left in book. I don't see any page numbers on my books.
I am running Count Pages for the books, and they do show up in my custom Pages column on Calibre. Before sending the book to my device, do I have to reconvert it again? If the book is already on my device, do I just need to resend the metadata?

You need to set up Custom columns of the correct type, the configure CP to use those (the names are only suggested)
But in the end, I stll think the Kindle will do its own thing when transfered (the CP columns are for YOU to see in Calibre).

What do you mean by "CP does not use the DEVICE config screen (the top)". What is (the top)?
Here is how I've configured my device in Calibre:

- Type the name of your custom column in the textbox as shown in the attached screenshot 6 below.

I already posted my problems in the Kindle forum, and they suggested I come here instead. Now it looks like there are no Kindle owners in this plugin thread? I'm really confused!
