A possible work-around is to use KFX format instead of MOBI. KFX is supported by recent versions of the various Kindle apps and supports page numbers without a separate .apnx file. To create KFX format you need install the optional KFX Output plugin and Amazon's Kindle Previewer. You can configure that plugin to get the page count from a custom column that you specify when converting books to KFX format.
That worked perfectly! Thanks so much!
