Word count
A visitor named Theresa suggested that the ability to search or sort by word count would be very helpful to her — while that isn’t possible yet, I have added a word count display for every title.
Another visitor wanted to know how many pages were in each book, which is a very difficult problem considering the many different formats, screen sizes, fonts, etc etc — even figuring out the file size for each format was going to become un-wieldy! Up to this point I’ve displayed the (rough) page count next to the “Read Online” link, but it was simply linked to the size of the interim HTML page that’s created for each title. A decent way to compare titles, but not terribly obvious to most folks.
So, now there’s a word count performed on each title. It’s being done dynamically at this point, though I expect I’ll figure out a way to store it…
