Is this something that Calibre can do as a process?

How could it automate?
You'd need a copy of the paper edition. You can then use the Calibre Editor. There are several schemes of HTML + CSS you can use.
You'd search for a phrase at the bottom of a physical page and then insert your desired code. However that isn't how Amazon does it, though it works on ANY format and device or app.
There are many ways to do it. A few PD texts have it in the text, but I find it annoying so I usually delete it.
It's of no value except for a particular paper edition, maybe used in a classroom or lecture theatre where the teacher/lecturer says, "Now go to page 271.", and it's obnoxious in a novel.
I use % chapter read and % book read on my ereader and don't sync. Instead I search for the last phrase I remember.
