You could check the page count when you buy it.

To be honest, if I want to read a book, I rarely pay attention to overall length, so I won't pretend to be an expert here.

Yeah, but you're talking about different editions, not the same edition released at the same time on different formats.
The editions of It are all the exact same words printed on paper of different sizes, with different sized fonts. Much like the difference between a Forma, Libra and Clara. Expecting page numbers to match across all three screen sizes seems strange to me.

The same goes for changing fonts. Different fonts take different amounts of space.

There may even be (probably is, considering this is Stephen King) editorial changes in the different editions. It's not a one for one comparison.
I doubt there's a difference between the US/UK editions of It besides word spelling.
