Incumbent is exactly right. The Word Count feature allows you to compare books in your library...check out these screenshots:



The iPad & iPhone will list the number of words in the library view - if you choose to display word counts (left image). The iPad adds an additional, intermediate, view (found by pinching/expanding the library screen to change the level of detail) and puts the word count on the right side of the book list (right image). Both versions (iPhone & iPad) have a cover image library view (not pictured here) also found by pinching the screen in library view. The cover image view does not display book information - just the cover.

The combination of whole-book word count, whole-book progress bar, and chapter page count, should give most people all the information they desire when reading a book. If you need to have exact number of characters, or exact page number, or be able to compare exactly to a pBook, then there are other formats out there that might suit your needs better, such as pdf.... or just a plain ol' hardback!

Cheers,
