Is there a way to make it so my kindle does not show "real" page numbers?
Is it possible to turn off the "real" page numbers in my Kindle book?

ok
now that i think on it i believe there's a file that holds that info so i suppose you could delete it. i believe it's the .apnx file. but this info has not been tested by me so take it for what it's worth (not much) and be very careful lest you destroy something.

Calibre, by default, generates .apnx files when you use it to sideload. It is an option you can turn off. I find calibre-generated page numbers of not much use. The .mbp file is where your bookmarks/notes/reading position are stored, so you should not remove it (it will just come back in any case). |

thought about it...
thought about it, drag a copy (don't move it out, copy it) of the calibre generated .mobi and place it in the documents folder of your kindle.

For side-loaded books, calibre will automatically create a simulated .apnx file. If you go to Preferences->Plugins->Device interface plugins you can highlight the "Kindle 2/3 device interface", click the "Customize plugin button" and make sure those last two boxes are both unchecked: "Send page number information when sending books" "Use slower but more accurate page number generation" Click apply (top left) and you're done. Calibre won't send the .apnx file when sideloading books to your Kindle anymore. |

Thanks. Actually, I just figured out a way. There's a tweak of the Kindle driver plugin that allows you to tell it not to send page number information. But thanks for the help!
