You cannot see page numbers within the Kindle Previewer, however there are some workarounds for this. The Kindle Previewer is capable of exporting three Kindle e-book formats, AZK, KPF, and MOBI.
A Master MOBI exported from KPR contains PAGE records that encode the page number information. However if such a file is sideloaded to a Kindle that information is ignored. Kindles require a separate APNX file in order to display page content for MOBI7 or KF8 format. The
KindleUnpack plugin for calibre can extract the PAGE records and convert them to the equivalent APNX files. The proper one can then be sideloaded (to the appropriate .sdr folder) along with the MOBI file to allow the display of page numbers.
Another method is to use the command line interface to my
KFX Output plugin for calibre in order to convert the KPF file to KFX format. That can then be sideloaded to a Kindle and will show the page numbers. (A separate APNX file is not needed for KFX.)
