I ignore page numbers. They are completely meaningless these days. Even for pbooks it can be misleading, with different editions of the same novel having different page numbers depending on line spacing, font size, book format, images, margin sizes, paper thickness and who knows what other tricks printers used to make the book look bigger or smaller depending on their market.
Word count is the simplest and most reliable indicator of a book length. Not sure why members don't use it more.
And it would be nice if readers maybe displayed word count progress instead of these BS faux page counts that mean nothing.
I tag my books according to this...
