This reminds me of Couplehood by Paul Reiser.
The book was roughly 200 pages. If you are on page 145 how much of the book have you read? Before any of you say about 74%, you are wrong. See first spoiler. Spoiler:

Well, yes, that's why I let Calibre generate page numbers for me, using the Page Count plugin, based on a certain number of characters per page. I also cut all the extraneous stuff out of the book (like extracts from other books, ads for the publisher's other books etc.)

Are you being pedantic or just not reading the post?
Kobo has an option for full book page numbering. When you use this, the page number for a kepub is not calculated in the same way as per-chapter method. The page count is independent of the reading settings. i.e. The same page count no matter what font size is used. I'd be pretty sure Kobo are using the ADE algorithm for calculating the page count, but I don't know and it is possible they are using different constants. So, no, kepub do no use ADE page numbers. But, they can use a page numbering system that is effectively the same. |

For position within a book I like the way the Kindle DX and K2 did it. On the right bottom was the length of the book in Kindle position numbers and in the middle was the numbers for the page that you are on currently. On the left bottom is the percent of the total file or book read. Close enough for me and only throws me a curve when the book is followed by a sample from another book or a short story. Page numbers start to end can have the same problem as can a large index or all the info from end notes in a scholarly publication.
I can be satisfied with any system once I get used to it as IMO none are perfect for all books. Last edited by Richwood; 11-21-2017 at 04:43 PM. |

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I sideload everything from Calibre but although I can choose to have page numbers on my Kindles I can't get page n of nnn. I have page number on the left but percentage on the right. It's not a huge deal I guess but I don't like it.
