The problem is that many books have several editions. What should one use, hardback, paperback, mass market? I found an interesting Goodreads poll from 2009 about this problem:

What do we do about audio books"


Rita, I use the kindle page count for audio books since unfortunately the audiobooks dont show a page count.
