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.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!
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.
