Nor would I care much but I do like knowing when I start a book approximately how large it is.
It was Calibre reader being consistently so far off that I finally decided to figure out what was up with it, leading me here.
If Calibre reader worked as the Kobo, rather than a baked in formula, I never would have questioned it.
On the plus side, this plugin really is nice to have, unexpectedly, so the trail of confusion ended in a benefit  |
How to count pages is one of the ongoing discussions here. It comes up most weeks in one form or another. I try to stay out of it, as it is almost a religious argument. None of the most common ways make any attempt to match the the paper book. Epubs can have a page mapping that can map back to a specific edition. Kindles have some sort of method as well. But, most use an artificial method, or a per-screen method. The calibre viewer doesn't attempt to simulate anything else. I've looked at it's page counting, but, I've forgotten the details.
