Page numbering for B00JP5CNN8- Tesser: A Dragon Among Us"

An Amazon import is the source of the 346, and the Amazon page for the book indeed says 346. 346 it stays.
(FYI, About the Author sections often are included in a book's pages.)

I'm just trying to understand.
Sorry if I've offended. But I've been told before the the "Amazon" source isn't correct either. So forgive me for trying to get clarification.
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. For Kindle editions, that is generally Amazon.
I just got the Kindle version of "Tesser: A Dragon Among Us" (ASIN B00JP5CNN8) by Chris Philbrook and I have a question about the page numbering for this version.
The Goodreads entry for the Kindle version seems to incorrectly list 346 pages.
The paperback version (ISBN #1497598273) has 445 pages. According to Amazon, the "Page Numbers Source" is this same paperback version (ISBN: #1497598273).
Also, according to the book's chapter list in my Kindle version, the book's final chapter ends at 442. Actually, it lists "About the Author" as being on page 442.
And I understand that sort of section is not us usually included by Goodreads as part of the page numbering.
So, should the Kindle entry (B00JP5CNN8) be 442 pages instead of 346?
