Incorrect. Close, but incorrect. (Look at the edge cases above.) Word Counts can vary wildly, especially in the case of ebooks.

For your typical Novel, a raw word count would probably be "okay", but anything more complicated than that (Non-Fiction, Math, Javascript-enabled books)...

And the larger the books, the more different word count algorithms diverge.
