I've never really heard of a novelette (except mentioned in a Belle & Sebastian song), but the way I've always thought it went was, a short story is up to 50 pages or so, a novella is 50-150 pages, and a novel is anything over that. Is that about right?

I think you are about right. An estimate I've heard somewhere is that there are about 250 words to a page, so if you do the math
40,000 words/250=160
and so on.
Its also a good way of figuring out pages in a Kindle book.
