Not good. Users are not going to be happy with this.

But I like the fix, it doesn't work for me in the way you're saying it. I would have stayed with epub if I would have wanted the behaviour you desire

So: "No funciona, así que mejor que lo toquen" (Spanish)
I don't follow or understand you.

I mean, do you prefer a page numbering system that is dependant on the font settings? Can you explain which are its advantages?

But nevertheless, are you saying that the main reason for your switch from epubs to kepubs is PAGE NUMBERS? Of course, every single person can adopt the opinions, likings and preferences he/she wants but I don't see your motivation as a general one...

What doesn't work in Adobe page numbering? It works perfectly and it's fully reliable. Its only issue is that the pages inside the book would have "different" lengths if, as davidfor says, they are calculated based on the file size.

I don't exactly know how the page numbering process goes, but I think you are completely wrong. I suppose that page numbering goes about the size (compressed or not, it doesn't matter), of the HTML files, not about the epub size. Embedded images, fonts or whatever would be irrelevant.

And as I said, it's not an exact process but just an approximate enough one. (Like in paper books as I also said BTW). And fully reliable.

Are you sure that the Koboish one which adds font sizes and margins to the mixture is more precise? Can you explain how?
