I just email a ebook that I have owned for 25 years--original format was lit--no page number in the epub sent to Amazon. The KFX I received from Amazon has page numbers in the text.
e.g.
Code:
<p id="page_253" class="class_s4">
<span id="page_254"></span>
How Amazon determined these numbers I do not know.

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)?
