You are correct. I don't know how I missed that.

Despite that, the book does not actually contain page numbers. I borrowed that book through Kindle Unlimited and opened it on both an older Kindle and a newer Kindle app. In both cases page numbers were not available for that book.

I notice that the print edition listed (ISBN B0BTPCMNBQ) refers to an ASIN that is no longer available on Amazon. That might be related to the non-existent page numbers.

Something different is going on with the other book. Re-examining your previously posted conversion log, I see something relevant. You state that the ASIN for that book is B008HALNYC. However the metadata extracted from the book by KFX Input shows ASIN=5KKR1B1TWVSXUGG6HYLAYMJ2EVY9INUS. That indicates that this is a personal document, not a book obtained directly from Amazon.

Other metadata in that KFX file shows that it was produced using KFX Output. KFX files produced that way can have "approximate page numbers" added during the conversion process. Those will be stripped out if the same book is later converted from KFX back to EPUB. I believe that is what has happened in this case.

In the next release of KFX Input I will add an indication in the conversion log to make it clear when the removal of approximate page numbers has been done.
