What you can do that will work is to define your column for the page numbers for Calibre to use when it generates Kindle page numbers. But then you can only use Calibre via USB to transfer the page number file to the Kindle with your eBook. Send-to-Kindle is not going to work at all. You'll have to give that up.

I don't get why so many use Send-to-Kindle when it doesn't do what they want and side loading via Calibre/USB does.

because we want it to sync between the devices is why.. people just don't want it for no reason. but i just got this device and wasn't aware of all the restrictions so i asked my question. thanks

Sadly, sync only works for books downloaded from Amazon which means for content you are using Send to Kindle or equivalent functionality for, you have to accept the limitations of how Amazon handles that content.

Personally, I have 3 ereaders in use and have no need or desire for syncing on sideloaded content. At worst, I might have to remember the last couple of lines I read to plug into search.

I'm having problems with the Count Pages plugin again, when trying to download page numbers from Goodreads. Here's the log:

Any ideas? I'm using the latest release, v1.12.1.

Goodreads changed their site so this'll probably need to be updated. See the Goodreads plugin thread.
