Ohhh, thank you for showing an example of the OPF identifier! Now I understand what is missing. Not why, but at least what.

However, I'm not sure how CP ever worked in this case. I've gone back and looked at a couple other book's OPFs and none have a Goodreads identifier. In fact many books don't even have an OPF. Yet in all those cases, I was able to successfully run CP.

How/when is the OPF created? When a book is added to Calibre? Well maybe that doesn't matter. But if there is no OPF, will CP not run or always fail?

If I have a book with an OPF but the OPF does not have a Goodreads identifier, how do I get that line in the OPF? Is that a function of downloading metadata? It does not appear to be, since the metadata download does not grab from Goodreads either.

It appears the only (English) page count source is Goodreads, which I'm selecting exclusively now, having unchecked lubimyczytac.pl. Is there a way to add a different page count source?

When you say "getting the plugin to count words and calculate pages is less of a hassle...", do you mean the word count would come from Goodreads and the page count is "Custom (Chars Per Page)" ?? That's immaterial at this point, but I'm still interested.
