Yeah, I've had that happen too recently. I had a Mobipocket book I was reading recently that said it was 120 pages (or something like that). I hit page 50, and it was the last page.

Most of the time though I've seen it under estimate. IE it says the book is 400 pages, when you hit page 400 it says it's now 401 pages, when you hit 401 it says there are 402... etc.

I wonder if it has something to do with the length of the book? What I've noticed so far is that it over estimates on really short books, and under estimates on longer books. I haven't read enough Mobipocket content yet to really know if that behaviour is consistent. Most of what I read are PDFs.
