missing page numbers in table of contents (EPUB)
Hi all,
lately I've noticed that page numbers are missing from EPUBs' table of contents. Though I only have Instapaper-generated EPUBs to test this with, I'd guess page numbers are generated by the reader (i.e. independent of the respective document). Is it possible this was changed in a recent firmware update? Any ideas how I can get them back? |

If its reader independent it would hardly be accurate, if its reader dependent it would have to be regenerated every time a the font size is changed or you switch from portrait to landscape and vice versa requiring the TOC to be constantly regenerated.

I would think that page numbers and the table of content of ePub books are generated independently from font and font size. The software rather "counts" the number of chars and every 1024 chars "starts" a new page. At least that's the theory.
On my device Adobe Reader and CoolReader show different numbers of pages. It seems Adobe uses the number of chars and CoolReader counts the pages in dependence from font and font size. Last edited by Billi; 05-19-2011 at 02:49 AM. |

I found that CR3 seems to have a fixed page setting in the table of contents, but the page numbers in the status bar are correct, fbreader180 recalculates every time you change fonts, margins or size (takes a few seconds to calculate), but won't give page numbers in the table of content. Adobe I don't use, so no clue
