I'm sorry I'm not able to help with the KFX problem as I don't use a Kindle.

So upon doing that it gives me an error on all of my books, they are all in AWZ3 and KFX formats currently

calibre, version 6.11.0
WARNING: Page/word/statistics warnings: Could not analyse some statistics in 1 of 1 books, for reasons shown in details below.
 
BOOK_TITLE (No identifiers for selected download sources)

You need to supply the Goodreads Identifier so the plugin can pick up the correct page count.
You can use the Goodreads Metadata plugin to download this or, alternatively, the Goodreads Sync plugin whichever works best for you.

I have the Goodreads Sync plugin installed already, do I just link it to my goodreads to get the metadata for page counts using the (Link to to goodreads) button after selection a book from my library?

Providing you have authorised the Goodreads Sync plugin to work with your Goodreads account (see the documentation on the Goodreads Sync plugin forum for help if required), you can then use the 'Link to Goodreads' function to search for the book profile and download the Indentifiers.

You can also, within the Goodreads Sync plugin, goto 'Linked book' .. 'Switch Goodreads Edition' to match the book you own; but this is not necessary.

Thank you for the help, managed to get mostly accurate pages on my entire library! Although for some reason the numbers aren't 100% exact when comparing to the goodreads information on any given book, mostly off by 10 or less pages though so not a huge deal thank you!

This plugin still fetches page counts from Goodreads? I have been getting some errors in the log for months and the count page column remains blank.
I get something like this:

Did you read what it said?

results= {'PageCount': None}

Yes, it reached the site.
No, it did not match or find any results.
Either your {identifiers} column has no value that Goodreads can use or it is wrong.
BTW The Import Import List Plugin can return incorrect ID values when matching an empty book if one of the 'matched' books is missing a id.

I just checked here and noted that Goodreads changed their website, so the XPath doesn't work anymore. I'm sure it will be corrected soon by the developer.

Though I think said developer is moving, with his computer halfway across the world

Thanks for the answers, I kind of knew something was going on with Goodreads changing their site, hopefully it gets corrected soon! This plugin is a wonderful time saver!

Why not use the APNX accurate method in the mean time?

I've been getting this error message as well:

But I guess this is a problem with linking to the Goodreads site, from what I've read here?

Release notes:
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr..._pages-v1.12.1

Indeed Goodreads fully transitioned over to their new book page design for the website, this particular feature would have been broken (or at best intermittently working) for a while now.

@Waylander - curious about the FictionDB error in your startup debug log there. By chance have you not updated the plugin for a long time? I would suggest uninstalling it, not doing you any good in it's current state, just slowing your calibre startup

[Waylander]

@kiwidude - thanks for picking that up. I've no idea why FictionDB is in the debug log, given I have always had the Count Pages plugin linked to Goodreads and nothing else. I'd noticed that the plugin had been working intermittently for ages now, which would tie in with the changes on the Goodreads site. Is there hope that the plugin will be updated to be able to source page counts from Goodreads again, or is this a dead letter, so to speak?

Edit: Sorry, I was slow on the uptake. I see you included a link to the bug-fixed version of the plugin. Thankyou.

[Waylander]

Now that I've updated using the new fixed plugin everything works fine again, so thankyou so much for this. Karma sent your way @kiwidude.
