I think "word count" is as good a metric as any as "pages" is meaningless to ebooks (particularly as I read on my iphone). And no, I would not want the markup counted in the words.

So, I know how big some of the books I've read are -- I look at their word count -- and then I understand approx how big a new book I want to read is.

When I looked at the upper left of the book viewer in Calibre for a book I'm reading -- it says "24/341". What does the "341" represent?

And can I get that "341" value to display in my book listings?
