@user_none - it crossed my mind to do something like that a little while ago but went no further with it. You might also consider something a little more generic that would allow pulling other metadata from the book as well into a custom column - such as the request by dwanthny to get the Calibre version used to convert the EPUB, Only if it fits in with what you have in mind of course.

It doesn't work with calibre generated ASIN numbers, why I don't know, to many characters who knows... I uploaded a sample. |

Page numbers on Kindle for Mac are only shown after the application contacs amazon over an encrypted connection. It will then write value. So far I have only been able to see page numbers for Amazon provided files. Page numbers will show on Amazon files using calibre genrated APNX.

So either Amazon is actively blocking page number from displaying with non-Amazon content. Or there is something that the Kindle for Mac app doesn't like with the calibre MOBI files that is preventing the feature form working. |

Fast vs. Accurate Method for Page # Plug-In
Here's an odd one. On some of the books I buy from Amazon (that don't come with their own .apnx files), when I send the book (without DRM) to my K3 from Calibre using the fast parser method, all is good. For example, R.J. Ellory's "A Quiet Belief in Angels" comes out at 563 pages -- more than the 416 pages that Amazon's UK site lists -- but still usable as a reference point. If, however, I check the plug-in box to generate an apnx with a more accurate page count (albeit more slowly), when I open the book, no matter where (e.g. preface, chapter 1 or chapter 12), I'm always on page 1 of 2. Same result if I use the more recent stand-alone apnx generator plug-in.
This is not the case with all books -- just some. Most of the time the more accurate and slower method is exactly that. But I cannot figure out why, in some instances, I need to turn off that option to get a meaningful page count. |

Can you open a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre and attach on or two of the problem files? Once you open a bug you can mark it as private so the files are not publically accessible. If you're not comfortable doing this can you email me the files at john at nachtimwald.com |

Found the issue. The MOBI file you sent me does not use <p> tags. It only uses <div> tags. The accurate parser assumed all paragraphs are <p> tags. I modified the parser to include tags that start with d. This will throw off the output a little bit (del tags for instance) but the trade off is worth it. The parser will need to be rewritten in the future to truly accommodate div tags. This change should be in calibre 0.7.57.

I wouldn't know a <p> tag from a <div> tag if it bit me on the leg, but thanks for the sleuthing and Calibre fix/update to come. Your program -- and the support you provide -- is amazing! Thanks again.

Pardon me if this has already been asked. When I let Calibre send a book to my Kindle via e-mail--which is free through wireless--the .apnx is not sent with it. Yet I don't believe I can e-mail an .apnx by itself from Calibre, can I? Is there a way to have the .apnx generated and e-mailed with the book?
Many thanks. |

Dear User_none,
is there any way to tell the plugin to start the count from a defined page? Usually the pdf's start with cover, index etc. When the book comes with pg one the pdf is already at pg nine. Is there any way to shuffle this? Greetings from germany... Cheers! Elblong |

Also, I had to remove the change that included div tags in the more accurate calculation. It was causing very wrong numbers in too many books. |
