That isn't overly unexpected (I assume you meant 119k vs 89k words rather than 8.9k). Remember that it has to convert the pdf to epub to count words/pages. And as has been said a thousand times on these forums pdf conversions to anything as a general rule will suck. Plus you have to make sure the books were identical to have any basis for comparison anyway. Header/footers, page numbers, broken words etc are all going to distort the page/word count for a pdf conversion.

Oh, you can't disable the LIT plugin either as a temporary workaround.
Patience... I'm going to push a new version shortly.
