It took forever for me to understand what was going on. Since I had Page Count working before, and did not recall any particular customization, I was flummoxed as to why I was getting this error.

So in case this helps anyone else, here is a summary of my particular issue.

I believe I took all the defaults on Page Count. And since I already had the necessary extra columns and tags for the fields I thought I was ready to go. The Page count was set to go to the custom column #pages using the algorithm Adobe Digital Editions; and word count was to go to #words and use the ICU algorithm (whatever that is).

My big mistake was on the "Other" tab for customizing Count Pages. It was defaulting to download from both Goodreads and lubimyczytac.pl. Unchecking those on the Download options fixed my problem. What was happening was, since I had Goodreads checked (e.g.), Page Count needed to find an Goodreads "ID" for each book I was trying to count. None of my books had that, so the Page Count would fail.

I hope this helps someone else. Or maybe my future self, the next time my computer hiccups!
