Hello,

I am not familiar with kindle ebook or regular print book standards.

Questions:

I am using Georgia font size 12 and with some white spaces and I get around 250 to 275 words.

Is that okay to have in a page for both kindle ebook and/or print book?

Thanks,
Isa.

    Isa,

    There isn't a standard page count as such but anything from
    250-300 words per page sounds about right to me.

    When hiring ghost-writers, I specify 300 words per page to
    avoid any misunderstandings about what I'm paying for. ;-)

      Thank you John. I was looking for ghost writer and he told me about 50 pages but he also mentioned not 20000 words.

      I understand now.

        You can change the font size on the Kindle, books are usually counted by authors in word count, but by the public in pages.

        I write my kindle books with 14 point georgia font and a custom line spacing of 20 pts. that lets me read it easily on my computer, but the buyer can change that around if they like to suit themselves better.
