Here is the problem with page count. Not all paper books have the same font. I like locations better. I know Atlas Shrugged is roughly 1168 pages or 27496 locations. I am at 47%. Knowing those two parameters on one book, the formula should follow with most books.
That is roughly 23.5 locations per page.
So this other book I picked up at random should top out at 65 pages.
