The Algebraist word count?

Does anyone know the wordcount of "The Algebraist"? I got it from the
library some years ago, and it is a physically heavy book.

But in terms of word count, is it significantly longer than, say, "Look
to Windward" or "Consider Phlebas"?

An ebook I downloaded has 193875 words and 1209555 characters.
The values for the named books are below. It seems Algebraist is the
largest one.

119491 691761 Banks Iain M - Look To Windward.txt
164753 1099618 Iain M. Banks - Consider Phlebas v2.html
193875 1209555 Banks, Iain M - The Algebraist (v1.2) [html].html

I counted these with unix wc (1). html code didn't contain many tags,
so the error is not high.
