Joshua New (joshuarnew) | 1 comments I listen to a lot of audiobooks which typically have no listed or 0 page count...skewing user stats on pages read or pages/book calculations.

Audiobooks are usually ~150 words per minute:

Books are usually ~250 words per page:

I was thinking of converting hours and minutes of playtime on the audiobook into pages uses these assumptions. Something's better than nothing, right?

It appears I can not edit pages for these books:

6802131-the-great-courses-the-passions > 414 pages (11h31m)
8928069-origins-of-the-human-mind > 447 pages (12h25m)
17668054-secrets-of-sleep-science > 443 pages (12h18m)
2028784.Networking_with_Millionaires_and_Their_Advisors > 164 pages (4h35m)

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