You sent it "send to Kindle", Amazon then converted the epub to KFX or AZW, so that is were I would look for where the page numbers came from.

So out of curiosity, I opened a few books in Calibre's editor but I can't find pages anywhere in the html or metadata. Where does that pagination come from? Does Amazon/Kindle add the pages into the file during the 'Send to Kindle' process? Or is Amazon/Kindle reading the pages in the epub file itself? If it's embedded into the epub file, is there a way to view how many pages a book has inside Calibre (in the editor or elsewhere)?
