Not to mention style parameters being used inline VS style primarily applied via CSS. Characters VS Entities. No, I'm afraid Adobe's 1024-characters-of-uncompressed-html = 1 "page" doesn't come close to providing a "one unit to rule them all" solution. For a character-count-based solution, nothing short of a rendered character count would suffice (which I'm sure is what Hitch was suggesting).

It is compressed. kepubs are not read using ADE. So whatever the page numbering used is not relevant. Also, you can download box standard ePub from Kobo and not bother with kepub if that's what you want.

Ah, the relevant information is in the wiki: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Adob...s#Page_numbers |
