The page count is pretty easy to guesstimate, as most books fall into one of four categories: skinny book (most children's books or very simple how-to books; page size may be a little larger than the average page size but there aren't that many pages so ti still scans quickly) average novel size (200-350 pages) slightly larger than average size (400-500 pages, what I think of as Stephen King or fantasy epic size) TOME (coffeetable book size,, with very large pages that take a lot of wiggling to get onto my scanner) Actually, there is probably a fifth size: doorstop size (longer than average fantasy epic, but the pages are still a standard size, so two pages can still be fit on the scanner per single scan).
