Aha! I'll keep that in mind the next time I read a novel that has only one sentence! (I assume you'll be serving coffee?)

I usually go back half a page anyway so it hardly matters where I stop.

When you want to know the length of an ebook, and Amazon gives you a file size of 3019KB.

I always use Kobo for that purpose, since the length is reported in words.

Many Kindle books have a "print length" in their description, which gives page count. Sometimes it's only down lower in the details, but it's usually there.
It's fairly meaningless, though, as the "Count Pages" add-in for Calibre gives me around 270 words/page on all the books I have purchased, but using the Amazon page count, the words/page varies from around 200 to 260 |
