Yes, I agree. It skews the percentage and the page count.
So I think I'm not done yet and I then find out I'm done. This is why I strip out the "so called" bonus material that is nothing more then an excerpt. I do leave in things like author interview and other stuff that's not an excerpt of another book. I also strip out reviews of the book. I already have the book, so why do I care what reviews said? I don't.
