Hi Dave, I took your advice to compare the page counts of my 2 books across their ebook and print formats. For what it’s worth, each print book is stated to be 2 pages shorter than the Kindle version!
Thanks for the helpful article.

In reply to Megan Tate. Yup - like we discussed in there, there are different types of fiction that tend to change the average. Glad to have helped!

I had read somewhere that it was 250 to 300 words for fiction on Amazon. That was a long time ago though. I guess I should update my calculations then. Thanks for the info!

Hmmm . . . my professionally designed, 6 x 9, printed, non-fiction book averages 377 words per page.

Well, now I understand why you do not reply to my messages! Man, you were busy!
I’ll review my Kindle pages counts and probably open a few tickets for the KDP support.
Thanks!
