Joshua Moravec (jmoravec) | 6 comments The Standard Ebooks edition of Moby Dick is missing a page count.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/her...

Pages: 718

ISBN: I don't believe this edition has one

Thanks!

Please advise how you came to 718 pages. As they use epubs which don't have standardized font sizes we can't use ereader page numbers. But you may be able to use calibre.


Joshua Moravec (jmoravec) | 6 comments Apologies, I was using the page numbers that appear in my Kindle. As this doesn't appear for every book and doesn't change with font changes, I assumed it was embedded in the metadata of the book.

Using Calibre (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho... plugin with the APNX accurate method), the estimated page count is 665 for the azw3 file.

If there is a better/more standard way to get the page count information, please let me know!

Sandra | 31448 comments For ebooks, the options are publisher, PDF file, or calibre.

So calibre it is.

665 pages added.


Joshua Moravec (jmoravec) | 6 comments Thank you!
