I might think twice about a book with under 200 pages if it costs over $10, it would depend on the author and the type of book.
As the size of the font will change the number of the pages, it's impossible to do, unless a dynamic recalculation (as with Microsoft Reader).
Now you can always search for the paperback version on the net, and see the number of pages...
