Source for Kindle page counts

In the section on ebook page counts, could Amazon be explicitly stated as the only authoritative source for Kindle editions?

See f.e rivka's comment here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thanks in advance!

I have yet to see a publisher other than Amazon list a page count specific to a Kindle edition.

Yes, but there was some confusion earlier today over what the correct source was for page counts of Kindle editions.

I've seen publishers list the ISBN for the Kindle version of the book (well, mobi; and if you put that ISBN into an Amazon search, it leads to the Kindle version on Amazon) - and include page count (actually I just looked. The publisher I had in mind only includes word count, not page count - as in, for example - https://www.ylva-publishing.com/produ... - 136,000 words, 978-3-95533-642-4 (mobi)).

So I suppose, in theory, since Ylva includes information on the Kindle version, but not a page count, there might be a publisher out there that adds the page count. Possibly.

Ah - I see now why Ylva only has word count. Then they don't have to do separate entries. However many pages the separate things are - all of them have the same number of words.

While in some cases an ISBN will bring up a Kindle edition, that same ISBN is often used for the non-Kindle ebook on other sites.
