B0BTPCMNBQ looks like an Amazon code and I don't see that either.

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.
That's bizarre. It's definitely not a personal document but a library loan which I pulled off of my Kindle, which I feel okay ripping since I own a hardback copy:


I'll try borrowing it again and seeing if anything changes.
