Thank you, kiwidude. I used Count Pages after a massive reorganization of my library recently. The trick earlier in the thread to convert the .MOBI files with illogical page counts to .EPUB and then re-count the .EPUBs worked almost every time. I found that I had a bare handful of files which still had counts very much too low. That acted as my list of obviously corrupted files I had to re-download or re-import into Calibre. Worked like a charm. Those all got fixed.

I still have some page counts which seem far too high - mostly for ominbus "Complete Works of ..." Sets in the 20K page range. But it does give what feels like accurate relative sizes - thin novel, average golden age mystery, long F & SF epic all seem to be about where the paper books would come out.

THANK YOU.
