Thanks for your hard work. It's good to have one tool for all your potential EPUB pagination needs.
I can't run the precompiled binary on Windows 7 due to missing DLLs, so I guess I'll have to try it out on one of my Linux machines.

Yes, and the number of words that can fit on a page varies widely depending upon how much dialogue there is. Even so, it provides a standardised metric for comparing book lengths, which may be useful.
Similarly, the idea of judging paper book length by page count has always been rather silly, as the page size, font size, margin size, and line spacing differ wildly between books. Page count was just the only easily obtained metric with paper books, so it was better than nothing.
