I apologize, I was not clear on this.

I'd like to append the title with the #page_count so that when I convert the files (en masse) to MOBI or AZW3 format and then send them to my Kindle (or any other e-reader) they will show up in the table of contents that way.

The idea is that when I scroll down the books in my e-reader, I will know how long each book/document is.

I use Calibre to manage thousands of documents, so being able to do this in a "batch mode" is important.

I have no experience with Calibre templates nor python and no clue as to how to do something like this.

thanks
