Hey SameerH. I have no idea if this has to do with 1.9.11 (since it's the only firmware I've used) or if it's a risk of having a hodgepodge of ebooks from all over the place.

I've noticed on a couple of my ebooks, the page numbers are... basically reduced fractions. If there's, say, 200 pages in the book, while I'm in the book, it displays as 100, or 50. Proportionally, it still displays the "correct" page number for where I am in the book. So, if I'm 100 pages in to a 200-page book, it displays as something like "50/100." In addition, it would also display the same page number for 2 pages.

That's a simplified example - the total page number that actually appears is somewhat more random, but it's always a lower number than the actual page count, and it still displays how far into the book I am accurately, relative to the total page number it displays.

Not really a big deal, since it's still accurately telling me where I am (Reading Life is accurate too - and the page numbers are correct in Reading Life). Just an odd quirk, and wondering if it's my funky ePub collection or a firmware thing.
