How do you know that?

Here is the problem. I know how the page numbers are calculated. I know what algorithm is used for epubs on the Kobo devices. I know how calibre viewer calculates the page count. I know all the ways that the Count Pages plugin calculates the page counts.

It is possible the Kobo page count is wrong. But, without some details, we can't be sure. And can't tell you how to fix it. Without knowing what count you are comparing it to, or what format you are using on the device, we can't tell you how to fix it. Or if there is something that can be fixed.

But, overall, I'm with DNSB on this. The only page count that is close to comparable across multiple devices/apps is the Adobe page count. Which Kobo use for epubs. All the others are dependent on other things: screen/page size, font chosen and size, lines spacing and probably other things I can't think of now.
