@BeccaPrice - don't worry, I wasn't in the slightest bit insulted
. The question of accuracy comes up a lot on the count pages thread itself, I just wanted to potentially enlighten people here who don't venture that far. And yes if you have a really bad PDF conversion which is what your results above show, then it is going to skew the results, garbage in, garbage out for sure.
But equally using a page count from somewhere else like Goodreads is very approximate as well, unless you read that exact same edition and their database happens to have the page count populated for it. Which a lot of ebook editions do not have.
My point being of more relevance to this thread that if you measure your reading progress for the year by #pages, then unless you are sticking to reading the paper editions and recording their page counts it is a fairly suspect measure. Not that I have a better suggestion of course - just enjoy your reading and it matters not how fast or how many
