Page Counts for Books at Amazon

I just noticed that, for some books, the page counts listed at Amazon are incorrect.  For example, Software Factories is listed as having 500 pages.  I have the book and, counting the pages in the beginning that are numbered with roman numerals, there are 696 pages.  This isn't the only one I've seen...
