what's the best algorithm for a kindle 4 non touch ?

reason I'm asking is because I was fine just using "apnx accurate"
but I found something strange.
*** a book with 106469 words & 392 pages
calibre viewer EPUB says "641"
& MOBI "622" pages

*** another book with 97 947 words & 1241 pages
calibre viewer EPUB says "2184" thingy (whatever that number is)
& for mobi "569" pages

obviously one of the two is wrong
I don't think the 2nd book has really 1241 pages that would really be a huge pocket book & I don't think it is.

so yeah I like this plugin, but the variance seems a bit too much, any way to make it more "sensible" maybe ?

thanks for reading.

EDIT: nevermind Adobe algorithm seems to be more consistent with the amount of real content sometimes dividing the number of pages by 3
new number of pages for the 1241 pages book is 486
