Global page count, instead of per-chapter.

Global page count, instead of per-chapter.

This requires processing the entire book, which runs against Monocle's architecture, loading components on demand.

For Booki.sh we intend to run entire books through a headless Safari during the importation of data phase, giving us a fairly accurate idea of each component's relative size. If we can see that a component is 6% of the book, and the component is 10 pages at the present resolution, we know that the book is 600 pages (give or take a page).

So that's one approach. In short, full-book calculations aren't going into Monocle itself - you'll have to do them server-side or just get clever.
