I don't know; I also don't really care. I just want to know how far I am in a book. The Page Count plugin counts every book the same way (with 2100 characters per page, or about 350 words), so one book that is counted to be 300 pages is about as long as any other book also counted to be 300 pages.
I have Calibre put that number in the book's title when uploading to the reader, like so: The Fellowship of the Ring (529).
After that, I don't really care if the reader counts in percentages. 10% of this book would put me at page 52 (in my counting). If the reader goes to screen / total and says 73 / 730, that's also fine with me.
I always want to know how long a chapter is, or better yet, the estimated time to reading it. With the current firmware, I literally have everything:
- Chapter time to read in the header.
- Screen / Total Screen in the footer
- A progress bar in the footer
- Percentage on the home screen
- My own counting in the title.
I can basically work with anything (x of y, percentage, etc), as long as I have "y", where "y" is the number of pages/screens; and I don't really care how "y" is determined or if it is accurate as compared to a physical book.
