What "other two settings" are you having problems with? Right-click the Count Pages button and choose "Customize Plugin". Select the column you just created. Then select a method of counting. I like "Custom", and 2400 characters per page, since it seems to correlate closely with a great number of paperbacks I have (+/- 5% or so; so the e-book version of a a 400 page paperback will end up somewhere between 380 and 420 pages.) Then click OK, and you you can have the plugin count pages. It would be best to add the column to your main view, or you'll not see anything |

When I get to column type it's grayed out and when I click on Custom Column all I get is an empty drop down box that I can't edit.

As indicated in the first post you have to select the proper type (highlighted in red below) of column when you first create the column. This means you need to follow theducks advice and create the column anew.

Most of my books are kindle books since I use a kindle e-reader.

Counting only works with EPUB. For other formats, you must either download the page count from Goodreads, or (temporarily) convert to EPUB. I think you could remove the EPUBs afterward if you wanted to.

Count pages value is static, so removal of extra formats leaves the numbers.
