Hello All,

Sorry for posting this in 2 places but it seems this is the correct place to post my questions. I have spent a few hours searching the forums to try and get this right, so please bear with me.

I have 2 parts to my issue:

Part 1: I am trying to get accurate page numbering via the Count Pages Plugin.

I have both the e-book version and the hard copy of a book and I am trying to get the two to match in page numbers.
When I run the plugin, it finds the goodreads ID and tells me "Goodreads edition has 652 pages". This is the exact page number of the hard copy. Encouraged by the results, I accept these setting.
When I send the file to my kindle via the "Send to device" option in Calibre, it shows 577 pages instead of 652. What am I doing wrong?

Part 2: I am trying to send the book as a personal document to my kindle account via the "Email to kindle" option in Cailbre. However, the page numbers do not transfer.

It is supposed to be possible to have page numbers in the personal documents using the Count Pages plugin according to this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=202728
It doesn't seem to work, again what am I doing wrong.

Thank you in advance for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Bugs.
