Goodreads automatically gives you a page count based on the version of the book you select, so make sure you select the right one and don't select audiobooks if you listen (because it won't give any pages at all). I don't mind 'padding' my book count with short books because I have additional challenges (age challenge, series challenge, etc.). In fact, I read several short books in a row to get ahead enough to read/listen to two doorstops.

For books that don't have "real" pages, I use the page count from the Mass Market Paperback if the book is available in that format. Otherwise, I'll use the page count from the hardback edition. It's only recently that the Kindle edition has had a page count -- and even now, there are some Kindle books that either don't list the number of pages or with blatantly wrong page count. (
One Corpse Too Many by Ellis Peters shows 8 pages on the Kindle listing!)

I haven't made much use of collections. I started organizing books into collections, but when I deleted a book and then downloaded it again, it didn't seem to go back into the collection. SO - I do all my organizing in Calibre and just don't worry about trying to maintain any collections on the Kindle device itself.
