Funny, that. I like to update my status on Goodreads with the page number I'm on (I don't know why; it's just one of those little perks in my day). Goodreads supplies the total number of pages in the book based on the edition you select; you just enter the actual page you're on. Sometimes they have Kindle editions, in which case you can enter the percentage instead of a page number--it's nice that they thought of that for Kindle users. But I have a Sony, and the Sony page numbers never match any of the available editions on Goodreads. This means I have to do a quick calculation before I update: "I'm on page 130 of 417 on the Sony, which is 31%. The Goodreads edition I chose has 608 pages, so I should type in '190.'" I don't mind doing the calculation--it extends the enjoyment of updating my status by a few more seconds.
