Page # correction for B000JMKTLO (Sharp Objects)

Main reason for this is that settings on the reading device can make a difference on page count.
On another note, it does not matter when marking how much you have read, since kindle editions go by percentage, not pages, when marking your reading position on GR.

It DOES use page numbers and the numbering is also found in the Table of Contents.
The books are like a facsimile of the physical book and device settings has nothing to do with page numbers.
Depending on how my font and sizes are set up on the device, I can "turn A page" and go from "page 2 of 400" to "page 5 of 400" but my font settings don't change the number of pages in the actual book.
It just means I may skip ahead or take more than one "page turn" to move to the next page number on the book itself.
There a very few Kindle versions that don't have page numbering and in those cases I use the percentages. But it's not correct to say all editions go by percentages.
(I read 3-4 books a month using page numbers on GR, so I'm pretty sure about this...even the graph shows page numbers)
ASIN B000JMKTLO
It says 272 pages and Amazon.com says the page number source is from another version ("Page Numbers Source ISBN: 1101902876"), but I just downloaded it and it's giving 393 pages for my version.

393 vs. 272 seems like a big difference!
Thanks....Nik
Ooh....
I just checked the page source https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and that version is 393 pages.
So can the KINDLE (B000JMKTLO) be updated too please?
