@LucyOne - I'm not sure how it decides which format to use. I only count words, and I usually have DOCX and EPUB formats. As far as I can tell the PI always counts the DOCX - even though EPUB was saved later than the DOCX, and EPUB is my Preferred Output format.

I just copied a 40K word book which had a DOCX and EPUB to a different book with just the EPUB format. I ran count pages with calibre in debug mode on both books. The first job counted the DOCX and took 7 secs, the second job counted the EPUB and took 2 secs.

It would be useful if the PI had a setting where the user could explicitly specify the preferred format to use for the counts - in my case it would always be EPUB.

Oh, my rig is similar to yours, although I only have 6GB RAM and I run Win 10.
