And, it is very easy to screw up those page counts. The algorithm is based on the compressed size of the internal files it's not hard to produce a valid book that gives interesting page count. Having said that, I do use it when calculating the page count in calibre. As you say, it is a useful comparison. But, it would make more sense to drop it and use the word count. I need to train myself in understanding how long a 100,000 word book is.

Thought I'd read somewhere that it was ADE pages - guess that was wrong.
Yes, if they would list word count that would be a more reliable method across all e-readers once we got used to it.
