Help!

I am reading a number of books on my Kindle.  As a result I no longer have page numnbers and, more importantly, I have no total number of pages. The ability to vary the size of the font (and in my case use a big one to make it easier on my double vision problem) means the number of 'pages' can vary enormously - even if one could count them. I wanted to add up my number of pages read in 2012 and future years but how to do it.  Any suggestions?

    When you download the kindle books can't you make a note of the number of pages then?

    For example

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Jungle-Book-ebook/dp/B000JQU7JO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1327068635&sr=1-1

    has

    Format: Kindle Edition
    File Size: 183 KB
    Print Length: 162 pages

    under Product Details.

    Thank you Helen. I hadn't realised that - though unfortunately that only works for books downloaded as a single item and not as part of a collected works. At least it solves most of the problem.

    Aaah hadn't realised it didn't give the total pages for collected works. That's a pain.
