Based on what I'm reading here and a quick glance through some of my books, it seems that dropping the last digit will give you a good estimate of hardcover and trade paperback pages. For mass market paperback, you have to drop the last zero and then divide by 2. In all cases so far, it seems that using these estimates will give you slightly shorter pages than you'll find in physical books.

Let me know if these estimates match up with what you're reading
