Kim | 607 comments For audiobooks you put the run time, rounded to the nearest hour, in the page count box.

Kim | 607 comments You could maybe put it in the description box but there's no set policy.

Darkpool I feel like I'm being a bit dense here, but what do you mean about including #pages for audiobooks? The ones I listen to don't tend to have pages.

Kim | 607 comments But it is going off a metric. Audio books are done in time. Doesn't matter how many pages it is.

Kim | 607 comments You'd probably be best starting a thread in the Goodreads Feedback group under Suggestions.

There is a standard way -- as Kim said, it should be rounded to hours and put in the pages field.

It's not, but it's also unlikely to change any time soon.
