I've been in those website design meetings. So. Many. Times.
"How about a field for word count?"
"No one would ever want that." said the committee member who'd never read a book.
"You can't add a new field now. My design would be ruined!" said the designer, clutching his pearls.

@Skb:
For all the books from Random House, etc. how would they even know that figure? It's one thing to talk about books produced by Amazon, via the uploading of a Word file, but what about all the others? What's Random House's upside in providing that info?
