Well I had the bright idea of instead of buying a whole new e-reader as my Kindle is only a few months old why not just de-register it and carry on using it.
That was a bad idea
De-registered, easy enough, loaded my books back on using Calibre, wi-fi turned off, ok they loaded, yes they open up, right go back to page 253 where I was before, nope, page numbers don't show up anymore only location
*sigh* Ok I will register it again and then just keep the wifi off like I was before. Enter my Amazon account details annnnd nothing, oh a message popped up 'we are having trouble registering your device at the moment' ahhhh
*edit* managed to re-register it and the page numbers are back
