Meanwhile, Amazon's physical books with the "Look Inside" feature come with a "Text Stats" link that provides the number of words, sentences, characters and more, e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/Profiles-Courage-John-F-Kennedy/dp/sitb-next/0060530626/ref=sbx_txt#textstats http://www.amazon.com/Profiles-Courage-John-F-Kennedy/dp/sit...
