Count Pages is "succeeding" the same way it "succeeds" with image-only books (i.e. its guesses fail).

The Obok variant retains a Table of Contents.

Any other ideas here?

Thank you.
In my experience, the Count Pages plugin is unable to count the pages in a DRMed book. I just tried and it couldn't. If it could with your books, then something else is going on, not merely a failure to remove the DRM.

What happens if you try to convert the book?
