I think we can do without page-map. This is just for the page numbers displayed in the header/footer.

You misunderstand: I need to support Adobe's page-map extension for epub files in order to support what you're asking for.

Why would that be? Count Pages supports ADE page numbers without the page-map.

Specifically, ADE page numbers are... technically inaccurate. Wildly so.

Without page numbers baked into the file they're literally made up based on the size of the compressed archive. That can vary based on how the epub was made. This way, 20 dense screens of text which may count as 10 pages in a printed book might translate to only 2 pages with this counting system (if there's an abundance of repeated text).

I'd say that's not ideal. It's not a massive problem, but it's definitely a technical flaw.

But look, it's a standard (to some degree). If I can find a nice way to make this work and present it as such, I'll add it as an opt-in feature. But I'm not sure yet whether it makes sense, and I doubt it'll make it into the app before v1.0 is ready.

I don't know where the numbers come from as counted/displayed in Kobalt, but, yeah, way off. Example from one of my current books: 234 pages according to Calibre; 538 on the device in Kobalt.

The former is much more reasonable based on what the book is.
