The page count for epubs, in case anyone is wondering:
From what I understood the script first counts the lines (comment in script: "A line is either a paragraph starting or every 70 characters in a paragraph."). For the accurate count this number is then divided by 31 (which is the usual number of lines in a page of a paperback, I assume). After this, from script: "we could still have a really weird document and massively understate. As a backstop count the characters using the "fast count" algorithm and use that number instead". The fast count counts the characters in the entire document, divides this number by 2400 and a 1 is added to the result. The biggest of the two counts is used as the resulting page count.
Don't forget there are three other algorithms available. Personally, I use the ADE method. That matches what any device that uses the RMSDK will show for an epub.
