I seem to be "reading" a lot of audio-books this year and it annoys me that GoodReads has a policy of recording the number of hours of duration as the page count for audio-books. At a normal reading speed for most people recording page counts as the number of minutes would be MUCH more accurate. As a sort of work around I've decided to include 2nd copies of any books that I listen to in order to get a more accurate page count... though that will throw off the overall number of books read for the year. That said, I'll be bumping up my goal accordingly.

Number of hours...? My audio books go in by percentage or number of discs.

It's a pet peeve of mine. GoodReads standard is to use the number of hours rounded up as the page count for audio-books. I personally feel that that really distorts the yearly pages read display. I even argued for their using minutes as a better alternative but they won't consider it.

Of course if you're commenting on a book that you're currently reading you CAN enter a percentage so as to keep track of where the comment applies .

I understand what you're saying. But my audio books don't show up like that. The one I'm listening to now is listed as having 11 pages for 11 discs. If I were listening to it on CD, I'd count each disc as a "page", at least that's what I used to do. Now that I use Libby, I use the percentage that I've completed of the book, I think this is a lot more accurate.
