Reading level computation

I'm going to introduce a Kindle reader to my older daughter soon. So I'm searching for ebooks for her.

What I want to do is compute the "Flesch Reading Ease" and "Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level" for each ebook in my collection so I can get an idea of what is appropriate for her. (I'll also scan each book for content manually.)

I've found that I can copy, then paste the ebook text into Word, an online site, and a Java application, which will give me varying numbers. I'm not too concerned with the differences, since once I decide on the method I'll stick with it.

Is there a Cablibre plug-in that will do this, and ideally add the numbers to columns? Or are there any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.
