The major retailers cite 100 pages for this ebook and "Includes lengthy bonus excerpts from 4 other titles." and "Be forewarned that this short story is only 50% of the total download."
Winning the Wallflower: A Novella approx 50 pages must be used in combination with another book to achieve 100+

OK. So am I correct to assume that

Storming the Castle (same series) is equivalent to 67 pages, then?

I did a lot of research on this one- pages reported from 96-118 pages from retailers. 67 pages seems appropriate from reviews I've read.
Storming the Castle 67 pages, must be used in combination with another book to achieve 100+

This one has a print edition, but the GR records are not consistent-
Christmas is Not Your Birthday by Mike Slaughter
Christmas Is Not Your Birthday: Experience the Joy of Living and Giving like Jesus by Michael B. Slaughter

Thanks for checking on this one, I'll try to get it straightened out
It's ok to use now

The page count puts this at 88-124 pages, the only page references I've found record 89- 99 pages. If you find a reference for 100+ pages, let me know

Year of the Cat conditional- approved for a 5 point task


message 679: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments I haven't found a page reference, but the word count puts it at what I would assumg would be over 100 pages...do you have a typical count that you look for? because i've seen books with 24k words that claim to be 100 pages, and ones like this that are 31k that are claimed to be less than 100...so i'm trying to figure it out

We use word count as a guide at 350-250 words per page. If the word count puts it in the below 100 page range I look for any reference that puts the count at 100+ - like Cup Check the word count was low, but the publisher stated 100 pages, so it was approved


message 681: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments because I found cup check on amazon referenced at 67 pages, so there is a pretty major disparity between the 2

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments Wild Horses - publisher puts it at 34k words - there is an estimate of 155 pages on one of the ebook listings

http://www.amberquill.com/AmberAllure...

but amazon guess-timates it at 98 pages - http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Horses-ebo...

i'll use it in combo with the previously requested one if needed

Ms.soule (mrssoule) Can I get Beowulf and Roxie approved for length? I can't find a page with a word count. The goodreads page lists as 108 pgs, my nook lists it, with small print, as 144 pgs, and the publisher site sets it as "full length" (not helpful, I know :-) ). I tried uploading it to my computer and opening it with Adobe Digital Editions, and it listed it as 144 pgs also, but still wouldn't give me a word count.

The B&N site lists as 196 KB:
