- kepubs per-chapter page numbering is unchanged. Each screen is counted as a page. This gets recalculated when you change the font settings.
- kepub full book page numbering is now using the same method as the per-chapter numbering.
And for the record: - Before 4.16.x the kepub full book page numbering was based on 320 words per page.
- The chapter graph shown in the Reading Progress for kepubs uses the word count.

- OTOH if you had your Reading setting set to progress for Entire Book the total pagecount was calculated, using some unknown mystery algorithm - but probably related to wordcount(*). This total pagecount didn't change every time you adjusted the font/font-size/line spacing/margins.
(*) Wordcount was a different mystery algorithm, e.g. when is 1-word counted as 2-words, or vice versa? Did the algorithm change for different languages?
However, all this is moot, because I think things have changed for fw 4.16 onwards. All will be as clear as mud in the fullness of time.  |
Sorry to update another thread with page numbers subject, but I searched here and didn't find my answer. Sometimes finding specific information is hard.
I sideload kepubs from calibre using on the fly conversion from kobo touch extended driver.
My reading settings (KA1) is:
Header - disabled
Footer - remaining pages in the book
With that setup the page number changes after 2 pages per screen.
The page number changes if I change the font, margins, line spacing.
And the page number to finish the chapter is 1 page / 1 screen.
So....what is going on here?!
Thank you for any help to clarify my setup.
