It seems to me that this sort of comparison can vary wildly according to the source. Are we talking about well-edited French texts or which translations? Do the electronic files have stray data such as page numbers and running headings? These could make a difference in the "counts". In the same way, page count would vary wildly by edition, whether illustrations count in the page numbering, etc. You probably need to name exactly which versions of the files you are "counting" and their source.
