The kepub page count is not too bad as long as you set 'Display progress for: Entire book'. It seems to be consistent cross other Kobo eink devices, regardless of screen-size, font, line-spacing etc. Not consistent with other eink brands or 3rd-party Android reading apps, though, where the Adobe page count is the only real contender for epubs.

I'd really like to know what algorithm Kobo use. Have you ever been able to delve deep enough into the firmware to find out more?
