No, ebooks without print editions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages.

Amy B - sorry I didn't include the link to the book in my posts - I will correct and repost. Got confused because some of the tasks specify a link and others don't, so didn't clue in they were always needed. Will include in the future.
