Hi.

My question is for user_none.
I love your APNX gen plugin for calibre.
I have an idea that I think not a difficult to implement, but useful.

My request is for the accurate page number generation. How here and in the source code also, you mention that the accurate page number generation based on that a book has 70 characters and 32 lines per page. My question is that it is possible that there could be an option to change these variables by users needs. So it would be nice to have an option at the plugins customization for a Custom accurate page number generation option where I can set the number of lines and the number of characters per page.
I think it will be useful. So everyone could fine tune the page number parameter by his/her needs.
I have a kindle with custom font (Liberation Sans) with second size font and with small line spacing. With these layout configuration I could count the lines per page and an average characters per line, and based on these custom data I could set the APNX generations parameter. I could get a closer Kindle page numbering result, so I would get a closer result how page turns left from a chapter and approximately how much kindle page the book has.
I know that it will not gives a precise result but it would be fare more closer to the real kindle pages by my settings. May a few pages difference per 100 pages.
And these settings could be useful for paper book conversation of course if the lines and character numbers are known.

If it is possible please implement it in the future version.
Thanks,
Daermond.
