Not sure why you felt the need to call out the recommendation by @Julie Paradise when most of your suggestions don't hit 800 pages either.
Yea, "pages" is completely misleading for all the reasons you state plus more.
I ignore page counts and solely focus on the word count to judge the size of the book and how long it will take to read.
