I found several items on the Internet that say 200 location numbers on a Kindle are equivalent to 10 - 11 pages. When no hardback or paperback editions are available for reverence, I'll covert with the lower number.

message 67: by PepperP0t (new)

PepperP0t FYI -- While I was picking more books for this challenge I discovered that some of "My Books" now have zero or unknown page count and some book covers have disappeared. This is probably a result of that GR notice that there's difficulty obtaining the info from Amazon now. Don't know if anyone else has experienced or noticed this & thought I'd mention it.

True. However, I think GR and the librarians are doing their best in trying to fix things. I'll say give it a few days and hopefully new data will be put in.
