THE CURRY-OUS READERS

Posted: 6 months ago

Lizzie, I've a question. If I see there's a noticeable difference between the paperback's page number and Amazon's page number what should I do? I've decided to read The Locked Door for this reading challenge. I received the book from Amazon today and saw there were 270 pages (Including everything) in the paperback version. However, When I checked the app of Amazon I saw the print length (page count) was written as 320 pages. Which one should I write in my post after finishing the book? You said we should follow Amazon's page count only. But in this case, there's a difference of 50 pages!

That’s why I said let’s stick to Amazon page count (print length) because different paperbacks and mass market copies will have a different number of pages.

A) paperbacks number only the story pages and leave out things like foreword, acknowledgements, author’s note and excerpts from the next book etc which Amazon includes in its print length.

B) depending on type set different publishing and printing houses may have different number of pages.

So just use Amazon page count so that way we’re all following a standardised method of logging. If you’re reading the ebook, use the Kindle page count. If it’s a physical copy, use paperback page count.

If it's okay then sign me up..I can read upto 5 books in a month.smiley20

I think you need to give the Kindle page count if you read downloaded e-books. Lizzie said we have to follow Kindle page count if we read e-books.

Agar kindle/ebook ka page count na mile then should we just use the paperback/print pagecount?

Usually Amazon has a Kindle version, but yeah, if you don't find it just log the number of paperback pages.

Wow, Shonali you’re such a voracious reader smiley3!

A few years back, I used to read more than 8 books a month, but then I stopped and haven’t been able to get back into it fully. smiley44

I still read fanfics here and there, but when it comes to proper books, I’ve been finding it difficult to dive back in.smiley13

What genres do you prefer?

I can finish reading 1 novel in a few hourssmiley36 so yeah, 11-20 books is doable.

As for the genres I prefer- Romance, anything romanticsmiley37, Supernatural-Fantasy stuff, Mystery, Thriller revenge based novels. Basically I am a fiction reader. And, oh, mythology based novels as well.

In fact, I have a whole mythology series planned that Imma write and update.

Yeah I'm in the challenge. T and Madhu aren't, so I will be a regular member, not a captain and put myself in one of the teams.

I'll announce the Teams after 25th, and each team will get to nominate and choose their own captain.

About Dark Romance, idk yaar - I have a few triggers so I'm hesitant. But then I read the Mindf*ck series and it was sooo good so maybe someday?
