Actually - I'm going to do something along these lines:

Looks like 60 books is going to be OK for me this year. Up it to 70 books as a bit of a challenge and then allocate an average number of pages per book. 300 pages per book seems to be a good size.

So you make it 300 * 70 = 21,000 pages for the year.

That's what I'm intending to do. The page numbering I'll just take from Calibre (I have the count pages plugin). It's not perfectly accurate, but that's OK - you just take a method and stick to it I guess.
