Pagination for these ISBN/titles is correct or has been corrected in accordance with publisher & Worldcat records.

I don't think 0 pages for this book is correct :

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

and I have no idea why the first four links directs to Harry potter books. Those are the ones I wanted to correct :

Audio versions page numbers = time as number of hours rounded up to nearest integer.

Goodreads Librarian's Manual states:-
Books already in the database often already have page numbers, and these are occasionally incorrect. These can be corrected, but only if you have the exact book with a matching ISBN, or from WorldCat and other sites with reliable page numbering. Introductory material paged using roman numerals is NOT included in the total page count.

Most ebook formats do not have a fixed number of pages since the pagination adjusts for screen size. For PDF specific editions, or any other fixed page ebooks, the normal paging rules may be used.

For audio books, number of hours should be used in lieu of number of pages, when that information is known.

This what we follow when entering or updating pagination.

The audiobook now correctly has 2 "pages" listed.
