It's some 10,083 pages long!

Actually the number of pages changes. In the link I provided, it actually states 11,927 pages, the description on amazon says 10,083 pages. And in a couple of epub's from the library one is 8,344 pages and the other is 8,244 pages. I think it's just the font sizes selected for the books that are causing the differences and not (hopefully) missing pages.
Regardless, that's one massive book.
It won't be the font size differences. It will be the algorithm used to calculate the pages. The ePub versions from the library will use the Adobe method. The Kobo site probably uses the word count. And I bet that Amazon is using a word count algorithm as well. And for the word count based algorithms, it then becomes about how to count the words. And that is a subject that makes me
