Hi Julia, The program that counts the number of pages usually adds in about a third more than the real number of pages. It's willdly inaccurate at times. I haven't checked it lately but in the past it was very bad. If there's a particular bestseller you're interested in, I can tell you the real number of pages (since I have the original .rtf file here at home on my computer).

I was just going through the New York Times bestseller list and I noticed that a lot of books seemed to be almost a thousand pages, but only had a brf file size of two hundred and something kilobites, is this at all possible? It seems to me they should be much bigger. Is there any way to check if the page counter, or whatever is used to check pages is really accurate? Maybe I'm totally off the mark here, but it seems like something just isn't adding up in my opinion.
