Aura H2O Any way to get total number of pages info without opening book?

howyoudoin · 02-12-2016, 10:19 PM

Hi,

The feature I miss most from my kindle 3 is the dots below the book title in list view that showed me how long the book is without having to open it.

On my H2O, the only way to know how long a book is is to open it and see how many pages it has.

I don't expect the dots to make an appearance on the Kobo, but short of editing the book title with page numbers info while transferring it to the reader from calibre, is there a way to have that information?

There's the series information in list view - is there a way to add in #pages there too?

The KoboUtilities-Plugin has a new feature to add metadata to the book details.
If you have the page or word count in Calibre, you can add it to the book details, which can be read without opening the book.

The feature is still in beta, but for me it works very good.

See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...postcount=1017
for the first version.

Here is an update that allows a different definition of the template.
