Libra Is this a bug in kepub, or normal behaviour?

[Krios]

Hi, i bought a Libra, its my first Kobo reader, so i dont know is this a bug or not.

Ive been converting epubs in kepubs, and chapter page counter (in the header) is working normally, one click is one page, but book page counter (in the footer) is skipping, for example it goes: 1-2-3-5-6-8-9-10-12.

There is a bug in the page numbers for kePub. They are supposed to be 1 page = 1 screen. But that's not happening.

Thanks for answering, is this kepub reader bug, or are my kepubs bugged in the process of converting?

It is a bug, but, it is also affected by the formatting of the book.

There is a bug in the kepub reader that means the full book page numbering is wrong. But, exactly how wrong seems to depend on the book. For the books I read, it happens every 10 pages within a chapter. And sometimes the last page in the chapter isn't counted. These are novels, generally with good code. But, the first time I heard of it here, was with an example that was worse than what you are seeing. This had lots of pictures, different headings and various other formatting. From this, and some other books, I think the pictures and formatting has an affect. And not having a one-to-one relationship between the ToC and the internal files can also cause problems with the page counting.

Thanks, yeah it seems it depends on the book, i tried it on the old book from project gutenberg (book was last edited years ago) and it only happens on the last page of the chapter, and on the few bought books released this year problem was much worse..

Aside from that it's a great reader (especially with patches), i was afraid of uneven lightning but mine is perfect.
