It is possible. I don't know if word counts is good, though. Consistency is only one factor of good systems and good UIs.
You are talking about consistency between different applications and devices? I assumed all this was about consistency on the Kobo ereader devices only. But, as you aren't then...

No I don't expect consistency. One of the points of having different apps and devices is so that people can get different experiences. And hopefully find one that fits them perfectly.

Within a platform, I do expect consistency. But, I also expect that different types of things are likely to be treated differently. Exactly how an epub, a PDF, a CBR or CBZ, a PNG, a JPG or a Kobo ePub (to use the name Kobo display) are treated can be different because they are different.
