Downloading metadata and count pages help
Okay I have my TBR library that I want to sort by page. I'm downloading the metadata for the books and then I do the Estimate Page Counts but I get very few results and they are wrong too. Also sometimes I'm getting word count and not page count.
I have the Goodreads sync plugin, I have the Goodreads for downloading metadata plugin and I have the Count Pages plugin. I'm using calibre 3.31 in a W7 laptop. I've attached pictures for my customization of the plugins. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Also how and where can I customize to only download the goodreads ID and not ISBNs, ASINs or anything else |

For Count Pages you have #pages in the Page count custom column and the Word count custom column and the three Readability options
They each require a dedicated custom column., e.g. #pages, #words, #flesch, #flesch_kincaid, #gunning_fog I don't use the Goodreads plugins, so I can't help with those settings. BR |

The Goodreads metadata source plugin will also get the ISBN. But, it shouldn't replace it. In fact, if the ISBN exists, then it will be used to search for the book. And if you choose the book found that way, the ISBN won't be updated. If there isn't an ISBN, or it doesn't match the book you want, the plugin will supply the ISBN back to calibre to decide what to do. And in this case, updating the ISBN sounds like the correct action. |

EDIT: I re-checked the thread for the Count Page plugin and I followed the instructions to make a Pages column. So not sure what I did wrong or what I should fix. Last edited by Teeny; 10-17-2018 at 11:44 AM. |

BR has shown you how to not do the word count. Simply don't set the option. |
