can someone pm me on how to get the reading levels to display? I haven't customized my Calibre interface in a long time, and am totally at a loss about how to show this.
Thanks! |

Note that it doesn't take significantly longer to calculate two or all three, since they use similar statistics as basis. So, even if you're initially only interested in one of them, create columns for all three and hide the ones you don't want if you're calculating in bulk anyway.

ah, I had my column set to the wrong type - now it works just fine. Thanks.
My fairy tales got a reading score of 97 - I assume that's out of 100? so that's aimed just about right. |

However, I do have my doubts about that method. Yolina determined that the Kindle User Guide is about the same difficulty as The Silmarillion. George R.R. Martin's "A Dance With Dragons" is actually easier than your fairy tale bundle. |

For certain formats the plugin has optimisations that remove the need to do a conversion - such as for PDF, CBR and CBZ. So you don't have to explicitly convert to EPUB and discard it after running the plugin - it will figure this out for you. |

The existing ones also place a heavy penalty on long words without considering their difficulty. "Watermelon" and "invisible" are words with which any child is familiar, still they will strongly affect the reading level according to Flesch & Co. Abominations like my previous sentence should really be taken out and shot, but it would only be marked as difficult because of the words "watermelon" and "invisible". Edit: and because of "familiar". This is a difficult issue Last edited by Man Eating Duck; 09-25-2013 at 07:53 PM. |

I have tried sending from calibre and that still does not Work. I still says percentage on my kindle. I followed the guide and it calculates page numbers in calibre and added #pages under preferences for the plugin. Any ideas |

If that still doesn't work I am out of ideas. It is outside the scope of this plugin about working with your device, so I suggest you try in the other MobileRead subforums, such as the calibre devices one or the Kindle forum. As this plugin just populates a custom column in calibre, it has no responsibility for actually getting that into a file on your device... |

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was wondering how this plug-in actually works. This is because when I try to count the pages on an azw3 book using the number of characters per page, set at 2400, it says that a custom column must be selected, and do I want to do this now. When I go to the plug-in settings to configure the custom column, the box has no options, and just shows a tick sign. What do I do? Any help would be gratly appreciated.

I have had some problems with this stuff a while ago. If you wipe the Kindle (i.e., remove the two Calibre files, and remove everything from the \documents folder), then you can try as you might, but you won't get any page numbers. Ever.
The solution I have found is this: - Wipe the two Calibre files in the root. - Wipe everything from the \documents folder. Before you do ANYTHING ELSE, download a book from the cloud that has page numbers in it already, or download the two English dictionaries. Open them, and flip around a bit. Then upload books using Calibre, and then page numbers will work. |

Preferences -> Change Calibre Behavior -> Add your own columns. Add a column of type Integer, and use this formatting: {0:,} Restart Calibre. Now you can select this column in the Count Pages plugin. |
