Please & Thank You
It's where the Kindle page counts come from on side-loaded/non-Amazon books. It creates and sends the page count file when the books are transferred to the Kindle from Calibre. I've never actually looked at the page count file, I just pull up the count from within the book once it's on there. It's controlled by a plugin which was added to calibre a while ago (right after the 3.1 firmware was released for K3), and there are 2 settings: a fast option and a more accurate option. I use the more accurate option and it's close enough for me.

There's a thread in the calibre forum somewhere but my fever is affecting my search abilities. Sorry.

All this talk of page numbers made me go back and check out my own (which was cool but time-consuming ). Based on info from Goodreads (and Amazon where none was available on GR), my page count so far is 26,700+, and I'm averaging about 238 pgs per book. I still have 7 books that I couldn't find page numbers for (and I don't have a K3 on hand to check) but I classified them as novellas, due to the # of locations on my K2.

I found my average # of pages per book to be low (for the number of books I've read to date) but I figured it's because I read a fair bit of Harlequins, which are mostly about 192 pgs each. For my own accounting, I've classified books with 150 pgs or less as novellas.

I'm doing the same, except, I had to bump it up to 200 pgs, in order to make up for the discrepancy between the numbering in Calibre and the numbering on the Kindle.
