title_body: How do I use calibre to create page-numbered ebooks for Kindle?
upvoted_answer: You could use the Calibre KFX Output plugin, which requires Kindle Previewer, to generate a KFX file with page numbers. 
  
  If the original epub contains an NCX pagelist, an Adobe Pagemap or an epub3 NAV page-list, the converter will automatically generate correct page numbers. 
  
  If the original book doesn't contain page numbers, select KFX Output > Create Approximate Page Numbers to have the KFX converter insert fake page numbers.
