The solution without the new option was not OK. Every update lost the solution and it had to be put back.

The way I look at it, when I start a chapter that has say 16 pages, I have 16 pages to read until the next chapter. I don't have 15pages. When I am on the last page of the chapter, I have 1 page left to read.

The same goes for the number of pages in the book. The last page is not page 0 because that means I have no more pages left to read. But I do, I have 1 page left to read.

But whatever you think, you can have it your way now and that's very good.
