Why are my print books and eBooks different lengths?

Last updated on 24 Oct, 2025

Unlike PDFs, which have fixed layouts, eBook files are considered "flowing text files" and don't have fixed pages that display the same content under all circumstances. Instead, the page numbers and content on each page in an eBook file will change based on font size, whether the device is held horizontally or vertically, etc.
