Kathryn (housekat29) When I use iBooks to read a book on my iPod Touch, it tells me what page I'm on...but on the GR page for this ebook:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

there is no total page number listed for the book and so on my GR homepage, I can't track my progress.

This particular ebook has 213 pages

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Generic ebooks have different numbers of pages dependant on the device you are reading it with, the size of font, etc. We do not therefore, generally put page numbers onto ebook records that are not of fixed pagination (e.g. PDF). If another reader with the same ISBN but a different device wanted to record their reading, your pages numbers might not match theirs, which would be more confusing than none at all :)

If you are counting pages for challenges, it's usually acceptable to use the pages from the nearest edition.
