Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson that we read for the Book Club, is said to be 594 pages for Amazon's Kindle edition. It comes in at roughly 210518 words. So how can a book that's 120588 words be the same number of pages as a book that's 210518 words?

There's roughly a 90,000 word count difference.
