Can't turn on page numbers in this book, but it has them mentioned in its Table of Contents
The TOC of The Digital Invasion: How Technology is Shaping You and Your Relationships has page numbers in it which are links that take you to the page where that chapter or section starts.
But you cannot turn on page numbers in this book.

Rosie - Vyrso books are nearly fully automated in the conversion process and nearly all don't have page numbers. I am fairly certain that the page numbers you see in the TOC are an artifact of the print copy. The page number links were likely in the original (just like you can do in the PBB).
Something similar can be seen in the index of some Kindle books, where the publisher adds something like "These page numbers refer to the print version of this work. The index is included merely as a reference."

However, FWIW the Kindle edition of this book seems to contain real page numbers:
Have joy in the Lord!

Yes… but that info may not have been in the epub file Vyrso received or, sadly enough, the compiler pulled them out because it didn't know what to do with them. I assume the compiler is similar to our pbb… it would be interesting (to me) to see how a Vyrso book is made.

I knew that.

I didn't know that. I could have sworn I'd seen page numbers in them before, but since you mentioned it I've gone and checked a whole bunch and it appears you're right. I would have thought the conversion process would be able to maintain page numbers, but indeed most Kindle books don't have page numbers either, so I guess it's too much to ask for.

Logos has produced videos showing what life is like inside the company, but I'd love to see a more techie oriented one that shows the actual process they go through to make a Logos edition book, and a Vyrso book.

I'd love to see this too. It would be fascinating.
Edit: One other question... Can someone explain why the automation process of producing a Vyrso book can't also include the page numbers? I'm sort of looking for a semi-technical answer rather than just saying "it's in the process". I'm also wondering if this is a technical problem that just has not been solved yet or whether it will be the way it always is.

It can... if they're in the source that's being automatically converted. In many (most?) cases, they're not.
And of course there are multiple competing specifications for representing page numbers (http://www.idpf.org/accessibility/guidelines/content/xhtml/pagenum.php, http://blog.threepress.org/2009/11/26/adobe-page-map-versus-ncx-pagelist/); I don't actually know off-hand if we support all of these.

That makes sense Bradley. Too bad there is not more consistency in the way these are created.
