Wow. Based on what was discussed regarding "what counts as a book" in this challenge it was around 200 pages to count as a book so short stories and novellas don't count. If you are aiming for 50,000 pages that would come out to 250 books for this year! I am impressed.
I decided to shoot for 20,000 pages since that is the 100 books x 200 pages/book. I wanted to have some form of goal, but I also didn't want to limit myself from reading short stories and long books by just focusing on # of books, so pages was the way to go for me.
For ebooks that are not in print, I have kept track of total locations in each book and for the books that do have pages I get a #locations/page average and use that to calculate how many pages might be in the ebooks only by # locations. I round a couple times in my calc to keep it conservative.
One thing I found is that there is a huge range for locations/page. My range is from 5.75 per page (short story w/ very little formatting) to 31.9 per page (scanned/OCRd book), but most (75%) are between 10 and 20. I am using 17 pages/location as the average.
