BTW, although I would still like "word count" -- now that I know about x/y -- I find that works very well. I can open a book I know what "size" it is, and thus now I have a good frame of reference, which was all I really wanted.

FYI -- I think you did a good job of making "y" correspond to "book page". For the couple books I looked at whose size I knew -- your number was a pretty close approximation of "page".

I understand about the "slow" thing. But I imagine the size of a book doesn't change. So if you calculate it when you load the book into the library, you could add it to the metadata and display it on the book list browser.
