I was just wondering why the Kindle "real pages numbers" use the hardback. I would think the paperbacks would be more applicable as a medium font on the Kindle's screen would equate to almost one page of a paperback.
I was reading Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson. The paperback is 960 pages. The hardcover and the Kindle book are 600. It's just weird seeing the page number not change even after you've changed the page on the Kindle twice.
Personally, for some reason, the length of a paperback also gives me a better idea of how long a book is versus a hardback (not sure why...maybe because I've seen hardbacks in a few sizes and font sizes whereas mass market paperback seems pretty standard).
I'm just thinking out loud because I am about to start "The Bonehunters" by Erikson and the Kindle book is 800 while the paperback is 1200 pages!
Either way, I'm happy holding a small Kindle Voyage instead of a 1200 page paperback
