epub page count determination

Okay this is random question. I am prepping up to upload to ibookstore and they want page counts.

Now I have my word count numbers saved, but not my page count. I checked online and it appears the "traditional" word count to page count conversion for paperbacks is roughly 250 words/ 1 page

Calibre generates its page counts based on character counts, not word count.

I can of course grab a page count from word, but since I already have data in a spreadsheet I was thinking a word count/page count conversion would make more sense.

Is there a standard other than the roughly 250 words/ 1 page that I might use?
