From what I've been able to gather:
  • Google Books returns a page count if using the "FULL" list of columns. (I'm using the "LITE" subset.)
  • Marvel returns a page count.
  • LibraryThing doesn't return a page count

And of course I can add page count as an attribute for manually added books.

I imagine users would enter the "pages read" in the "Reading Now" screen, and PageBlaze would automatically calculate the percentage.

Or do you envisage this as an "either or" type situation, with a user preference to use percentage complete versus pages read?

The page number Google Books returns as it's always going to be wrong. What I want to use is the ADE page number from my eBooks. So I can have the same page number as my eBooks. I don't mind manually entering the data to get it to be accurate. The thing is, you might have to allow duplicate books because of differing page numbers.
