To read 100 books

Please & Thank You

It's where the Kindle page counts come from on side-loaded/non-Amazon books. It creates and sends the page count file when the books are transferred to the Kindle from Calibre. I've never actually looked at the page count file, I just pull up the count from within the book once it's on there. It's controlled by a plugin which was added to calibre a while ago (right after the 3.1 firmware was released for K3), and there are 2 settings: a fast option and a more accurate option. I use the more accurate option and it's close enough for me.

There's a thread in the calibre forum somewhere but my fever is affecting my search abilities. Sorry.

I hope you feel better, soon!

All this talk of page numbers made me go back and check out my own (which was cool but time-consuming ). Based on info from Goodreads (and Amazon where none was available on GR), my page count so far is 26,700+, and I'm averaging about 238 pgs per book. I still have 7 books that I couldn't find page numbers for (and I don't have a K3 on hand to check) but I classified them as novellas, due to the # of locations on my K2.

I found my average # of pages per book to be low (for the number of books I've read to date) but I figured it's because I read a fair bit of Harlequins, which are mostly about 192 pgs each. For my own accounting, I've classified books with 150 pgs or less as novellas.

I'm doing the same, except, I had to bump it up to 200 pgs, in order to make up for the discrepancy between the numbering in Calibre and the numbering on the Kindle.
