Indeed, like I said:

And calibre has a feature to automatically generate a pseudo-random guesstimate apnx when sending azw3/mobi to a Kindle. This can be refined by using a custom column containing the page count (most likely derived by hand from checking the paper version). If used, the Kindle book should have pagenumbers as well.

They do a fair job of guesstimating, like with ADE and their 1024-character guess. Although I turned them off because pagenumbers mean nothing to me unless they represent a reference to a book -- I use percentages, since that's all pagenumbers do for me anyway. Oh, and the time left in chapter/book has replaced locations on my main view.
