Actual number of books is not stated on my KU borrow page. Just a date sorted list of books marked returned and I need to scroll all the way down and manually count ……. happy to simply admit to x00 during the period of my researching.

x00 = 100 or 900? That's a big range there.
General technique for quick counting: Hold mouse button down as you scroll down listing on webpage, thus highlighting all the lines. Copy-n-paste into a text file. Then (in Linux) use "wc -l filename" to count how many lines. In Windows or MacOS, I'm sure there is an equivalent method to easily get the line count of a file. And it's easy enough to adjust the final count if for example, one line from the webpage shows up as three lines in the text file (due to webpage formatting) - just divide the reported count by three in that case.
Nobody is asking for an exact, confirmed, certified and verified count. Just a reasonable approximation. If the mouse highlighting above results in the accidental capture of a few extra lines, or a few missed lines, I doubt it will effect the final count enough to matter.
