Confusion with "pages" field
When I retrieve for example a book from amazon.com, the field "Pages" is automatically filled in with the number of pages the book has. However, when I print the bibliography, it shows something like this:
Gazzaniga, M. S., Ivry, R. B., & Mangun, G. R. (2002). Cognitive Neuroscience, Second Edition (2nd ed., p. 748). W. W. Norton & Company.
As you can see, "p. 748" does not mean I'm citing that page in particular, but shows the total amount of pages of the book. I don't know if it's a small matter that may be overlooked or whether it would be better for Zotero not to include the total number of pages of the book in that field.

bdarcusThis is what I'd call a long-standing bug, both in Zotero, and in the Amazon translator. Just remove the page numbers.

dstillmanIt is, but we haven't been able to fix it in 1.0.* because the database instability problems in Firefox 2 kept us from doing any more DB schema changes or data migrations. It'll be fixed for 1.5.

bdarcusYes, but the translator could have been fixed to not set the pages field a long time ago. In any case, good to see it'll be resolved soon.
