Disclaimer: I have a decent knowledge of HTML/CSS but I'm new to calibre so I apologize if this is an obvious question, but I've been looking everywhere and I haven't been able to find an answer myself.

So some of the ebooks I've actually purchased from Amazon include page numbers that match the print edition (as well as the usual "location" numbers) which is very useful in book clubs and the like, for reference--it's handy to be able to "turn" to the same page as everyone else instead of going hunting for it. I'm converting some other ebooks I have, and I want to stay as close to the print edition as I can.

My question is, can page numbers of this type be added with calibre? Like, I don't know... a tag to place at where each page beginning would be? I don't care how tedious it is, I just want to know if it's possible. Thank you!
