Topaz files tend to have a page count where mobi files have a file size -- when looking at the Product Details.
Also, get in the habit of downloading the sample. You can open it in a text editor and look for TPZ0 at the beginning. That's a Topaz book.
I agree that they should just flat out tell you, but since they won't... there are ways to take matters into your own hands.

Woah!
Double the cost of hardcopy? That's gotta be a pretty rare occurrence... and most definitely an oversight that will get corrected. I don't doubt that you'll point out an example, but I've never seen an ebook that cost double the hardcopy price.
