I'd be happy with page counts. 3 of my 4 Overdrive websites don't even tell you page count. Neither does gutenberg.org, although at least with them you can see file size which is some indication.
The number of times that I've borrowed/downloaded something and been surprised that it's 40 "pages" or 800 "pages"...
