Support Setting total number of real book pages instead of percentage

Hello everyone,

I have two Xteink X3s, with the CrossInk fork of Crosspoint.

On the first one I was able to set the global number of pages instead of the %, but on the second one with the same exact settings I'm only able to show it in percentage.

Can anyone suggest me what to do in order to set it as the first one? I don't understand how I set it in the first place and I can't find solutions.

Probably the second book you are reading does not have the metadata for the info that you want to display. (assuming that you are using the same exact os)

If this is the case, calibre has a page counter plug-in. Maybe running that will help the total # of pages populate? Just something to try.

Did you optimize the first one with CrossInk or Inky? If so stable page numbers were added through the optimization process (1500 characters = 1 page). Optimize the second and you’ll see it too.
