Nemesis by Philip Roth book length question
Hi
I recently downloaded Nemesis by Philip Roth from the Kobo store. On my Sony eReader the book shows as being 136 pages. Yet the Kindle version, as well as the hard cover version have 304 pages. Is it possible that Kobo has a truncated version of this book on its site? Thanks. |

The Kindle "page" is a real page. The newer Kindles can, when the data is provided with the ebook, cross reference a particular "location" in the file ("location" = chunck of file data, smaller than the "page" chunk referred to by some ePUB readers) to the printed page in a particular edition of the book. The Kindle will identify the printed book by its ISBN. When such data is available for a book Amazon will list the book's size in pages, hence the match between the Kindle ebook and the hard cover version. |
