Fadedpage on some books puts a floating at right margin in a box faint real page number (of edition used) using cunning CSS. Dr Dolittle some titles? and C.S. Lewis 'Till We Have Faces'
I figured out the regex to bulk delete it.

Note that many Fadedpage books are only out of copyright in countries that are +50 or didn't retrospectively implement +75. Not PD in USA.

If you want real page numbers, that works. No need for fractions.

Page numbering is like Trump, Brexit or Nationalists/Republicans vs Unionists in N.I. There are two camps on eBooks and I doubt any scheme will convince those that want "real page numbers" or that point out that only a percentage progress works on ebooks (unlike PDFs).

Interesting idea. The giant thread illustrates the two camps thesis.
