That's correct. They are in a separate ".apnx" file which is present for some books you download from Amazon, but not for others. It's up to the publisher to provide it. If you send books to the Kindle using Calibre, the Kindle driver in Calibre generates a ".apnx" file using calculations similar to those used by ADE-based readers.

Kobo, Nook, Sony, Adobe Digital Editions are using "artificial" pages calculated on a certain number of characters equaling one "page" (# of pages is independent of font size, margins etc) OR (at least in the case of Kobo's own book format) the number of "screens" of text at the current font size/margin/line spacing settings (so if you increase the font size the total number of pages will go up). Since it sounds like you just want the relative position in the book for your own information any of these should work (if you're trying to share a specific page with someone else it gets more complicated).

Yep.
