Both are geared toward teachers/parents/students in K-12 to get information for their reading programs, so the book choices aren't nearly comprehensive but I was able to find information (word counts) for a surprising number of books that I hadn't been able to find elsewhere.
These do give slightly different results but they are very close to each other. They do have different selections too. |
Personally I do not usually like to look at the page counts of my books because I tend to shy away from books with the higher page counts. Since I have converted to electronic books I don't tend to get intimidated much any more because I do not get a sense of the physical size of the book any more. Just one of the many reasons to covert to electronic format in my opinion.
