If you have an ebook copy of really any book that you legally purchased could you list the number of pages it says it has?

I'm a little confused by that last
but yes, ebooks and print books have different numbers. The ebook is usually figured by however many page turns it will take you to get through the book in digital format. The print book has different page numbers because of font type and size.
My book Heroes & Villains is 379 pages on Kindle estimate, while the print is 298; really 135,000 words. It's because the Kindle version is Arial size 12, while the print is Georgia size 11. I tried to make the least amount of print pages possible to keep consumer costs down... while I think for Twilight, because it's YA and publisher funded, they use probably a size 12-14 font with 1/5 a line of space between every line, though I don't know the word count.
Hope that helps
