As it doesn't exist, I use a metadata plugboard in calibre to put the word count into the comments when the book is sent to the device. I know others put it elsewhere, such as the subtitle or appended to the author. That way it will be displayed in the book list.
Ooh, interesting. I'd love to have a column in calibre with just word count. I'll ask this in the calibre subforum.
