However, using the APNX output in Calibre to send the book to my Kindle still doesn't produce accurate page numbers. They're clearly not using the PageList for anything. Maybe KindleCreate does. (I can't find a KindleGen, so KindleCreate is probably the latest version of that.)
Are you thinking that Kindlegen is going to give you "real page numbers" by using the Calibre plugin? That won't work. As far as I know, the APNX plugin, for Calibre does nothing but create them for those books being read VIA Calibre, for self-made/self-read books. Not books intended to be processed via the KDP or Kindlegen, etc.

I've never heard that the APNX plugin, for Calibre, can be used for anything in commercial production. Now, I could be utterly wrong, as we don't use Calibre for anything like this (we use it for its intended purpose, as a catalog, silly buggers that we are), so I suppose it COULD work, but I'd be very, very surprised, especially as the KDP very notoriously tends to reject most Calibre-made files as "unsupported." Moreover, you cannot upload an AZW to the KDP, so...???
