He said he liked being about to brag on page numbers.

Well, yes, that's why I let Calibre generate page numbers for me, using the Page Count plugin, based on a certain number of characters per page. I also cut all the extraneous stuff out of the book (like extracts from other books, ads for the publisher's other books etc.)
