Also, something I'm wondering: I have an action chain that converts the current page number to #percentread with this template:

Code:

program:
	if 
		globals(Current_Page)==''
	then
		$#percentread
	else
		totalpage = $#pagecount;
		currentpage = globals(Current_Page=1);
		newpercent = round(multiply ((currentpage / totalpage), 100))
	fi

I'm currently reading a book that's 446 pages long. While running the chain with a current_page of 190, this converted it to 43%.

However, when I look in Reading Goal, it shows 'pages' as 192. I often get minor differences like this for physical books - just 2 or 3 pages off. What causes it?
