Problem solved
.
It turned out that the problem is not with Kindle Unpack but with Kindlegen. An eBook generated by Kindlegen contains 2 components, the mobi file and the KF8 file, aka azw3 file. Kindle can not see the page number when these two different formats are in the same package. So, the solution is to split them with Kindle Unpack and only load the KF8 file to the device.
Thanks to all contributors who made Kindle Unpack possible. This tool has been tremendously useful.
