All these books open fine with calibre e-book reader. i.e. no DRM encumbrance that the other PI doesn't handle.

The issue is on a format basis, not specific book basis. All formats are DRM encumbered. Only some of these formats the count pages plugin has trouble with (all books of a problem format). The other formats (also DRM encumbered), the count pages plugin has no issue counting pages. And NONE of the formats has any issue opening in calibre e-book reader (ie no plugin/DRM issue from calibre/other-PI's point of view).

I was afraid the DRM topic was going to become a bit of a distraction. Maybe it is related, but the bottom line is that calibre e-book reader and the "other PI" have no problem with ANY of these books. Only the count pages plugin has problems with certain formats (all books in a problem format fail).

Is this plugin open source in an online source repo somewhere where I can just take a look? That might be faster vector to track down the problem.
The PI is the source. Just use a Unzip app that lets you look inside without actually doing it. Windows Explorer can do that nativly
