Page counts for ebook/Kindle editions are only taken from the publisher (ebooks) and Amazon (Kindle); page count can vary from reader to reader depending on what device is being used, device settings and format. These are the only formats for which book in hand does not trump other sources.
Unfortunately, the publisher does not include a page count in their listing- http://www.evernightpublishing.com/sp....

That policy makes no sense. PDF versions of eBooks have the same page count on whatever device you read them - PC, Mac, iPad or your phone. Check it yourself if you do not believe me. All other formats repaginate, but NOT PDFs!!!

I know they don't listen to authors, maybe they will listen to librarians!
