The Kobo devices do not display a word or page count anywhere, but there are several ways to do it.

One method is to use a metadata plugboard to add the page count to one of the pieces of metadata that is displayed. Appending it to the title or the author is what I have seen.

The other is to put it in the comments/synopsis. My Kobo Utilities plugin can do this. It can use a template to add extra information to the synopsis on the device. I use:

Code:
template:{comments}{tags:|<p>Tags: |</p>}{rating:|<p>Rating: |</p>}{#kobo_last_read:|<p>Last Read: |</p>}{#words:|<p>Word count: |</p>}
That adds the tags, my rating, the last read timestamp and the page and word count.
