.IMO the more pieces you can break this exercize into the better.

I guess I don't understand the "interface" issue. Once a document is
available, all you really (typically) need to do is flip pages,
forwards or back. (?)

"Once a document is available" is NOT the first step in the process and
I don't have a resident guru.

re page count - a page number usually stays the same for several
"epages".- you
can vary the size of the print in all the ereaders I've tried = the
number of
"epages" per page number varies.

So, are "18,000 pages" the equivalent of 18,000 PRINT pages?? Roughly
36 books (assume 500pp/book)?

dunno if they usually renumber ebook pages or not (and a lot of books
have more that one print edition) but here's a comparison of pages for
one book.

You mentioned in an earlier post:
"For example, a recent read (for me) was _Snow Crash_ -- just under 500pp
in an ~8x10" format."

I have an epub file of that book - from the cover illustration & other
info in the epub file I'm guessing it's based on the "Bantam Spectra
trade paperback reissue / September 2003".

lessee. . . rats - didn't find that paperback version online but. ..
https://books.google.com/books/about/Snow_Crash.html?id=RMd3GpIFxcUC
shows
"Bibliographic information"
"Length 480 pages"

Looking at the epub file (on one of my Nooks) it says 463 pages which is
not a lot different from 480 or your ~ 500 page count.
