This is a poor argument. If you’re going to argue words take longer to count I’m going to ask you to please count the bytes yourself. The ereader is more than capable of calculating words in an ebook upon import and then presenting that as a measurement. We can even abbreviate the numbers over 1,000 to make them easier to deal with for humans.
