Mē-chan | 124 comments On what do you base 284 pages on? If that is a number your ereader is showing Goodreads doesn't accept that. We all have different ereaders, different settings ergo, we all have different page numbers displayed on our ereaders.

http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-goos...
Publisher gives 432 pages

Worldcat gives 383 pages

Same as corresponding paperback version.

The only question here is should this be changed to 432 or 383.

Heather | 13 comments I based it on what my ereader was telling me, because I didn't know that different settings actually effected page count. (I didn't realize they had different settings, since I don't think I can change pagination on mine.)

I suspected as much. Well for the future request, valid sources for ebook pages on Goodreads are either what publisher says or worldcat.org
For kindle ebooks, it's Amazon.

When the choices are between the publisher and WorldCat, go with the publisher.
