Shanna_redwind | 754 comments Are ebooks that are shorter than the requirements ever long enough to qualify? I don't want to make unnecessary work for the moderators if the books that are say 54 ebook pages never qualify. But if there's a chance I want to take it. I'm just not sure exactly how ebook pages work when compared to regular pages.

It is highly, highly doubtful that ebooks that are less than 80 pages would ever qualify. ebooks between 80 and 110 pages might work for at least a 5 point task- it depends on what information is available.
Order of importance:
publisher page count
author page count
word count- 35,000 words is usually 100 pages
25,000-35000 words is usually "maybe" and may be limited to a conditional 5 point task
<25000 words is rarely approved

Laura H L (laurah30) | 504 comments I read Resting Scrooge Face which is listed as an ebook of 80 p. Am I able to use it for a 5 point task?

Maybe. Since it's only on GR as an ebook, you'll need to get it approved for use in the ebook verification thread.
