What is your source- do you have book in hand? Please always include ISBN in page numbering request, even when linking to the book.
This one actually is an ebook, as per both WorldCat and Smashwords. Format corrected.
However, the only formats for which book-in-hand does not trump publisher/Amazon/etc. data are ebooks. User settings, precise model of ereader, and other variables can mean that the same book on your ereader and mine have different page counts. Therefore, for ebooks (including Kindle editions), the page number should come from the publisher.
The publisher does not have a page count listed. But they do have a word count, which I divided by 250 for an estimated page count of 241.
If the publisher ever provides an official page count, we will change it.
