I must say: "How hard is it to select a group of books, and click the Count Pages Icon?" Seriously , There are a lot more time consuming tasks that I do for every book. Note: I do cherry-pick and massage every books metadata   |

			Thanks for the answers guys. I was wondering if the ADE algorithm might be doing something clever, but it looks like it's not particularly smart. I'm getting more consistent results from the character count method, presumably because it's stripping tags around content. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with things as they stand. Davidfor: thanks for maintaining the plugin. I'm a software engineer myself, though I'm a Ruby dev and as such have so far managed to avoid Python  Having said that, I'll dive in to this plugin if I find some time! |

			Is there any way to set this up so if it's grabbing the page number data from GoodReads with a GoodReads ID, that it doesn't need a file? I put every book I read in Calibre eBooks, Kindle Unlimited, paperbacks etc. and I'd like to have page numbers for the "empty" books as well, but if there isn't a file it throws this error. calibre, version 4.2.0 WARNING: Page/word/statistics warnings: Could not analyse some statistics in 1 of 1 books, for reasons shown in details below. The Magestaff (No convertible format found) Thanks! |

 By any chance, are you ALSO using one or more of the 'Readability" options? Those use/need the book file. | |

 But, this is something I've been meaning to look at. It probably should do the stats it can based on the options and files available. Downloading the page count when there isn't a file should work. But, no promises as to when it is done. | |

 Still if eventually I could get page count for empty books that would be brilliant, thanks for even looking at it Davidfor. | |

			FYI, I don't know what's causing it, but from the Get Plugins dialog, right-click Version History fails for this plugin. It works for all the other plugins I tried. I suspect the plugin forum page parser is unhappy about something minor in the Version History section of the first post. November vs Nov maybe? |

				Update to version 1.9.0
			 
			
			For those who haven't noticed, I released an update to this plugin yesterday. The changes in it are: 
 The first three are in the last beta I posted. The latter are changes since then. Calibre should already have announced the update by now. If anyone sees any problems, please report them here. |

				ICU is real slow
			 
			
			I've got an epub file here that took 115 minutes to count 1.84 million words. With "ICU" un-checked, it takes about five seconds. (and the result is about 9% different.) Is that expected behavior, or should we do some debugging? |

 As to the difference in the result, that is to do with how the two algorithms define a word. This has been "discussed" in this thread a few times. No one won. | |

 I don't think it is the hardware. Home is Windows 10 laptop, with an I7 and 16GB of memory. At work it was a desktop running Ubuntu, which I think has 16GB of memory, I don't know the CPU, but, it isn't slow otherwise. | |
