I put a book with 10 pages written to it into an Item Frame, then attempted to change a single page in the book using /entitydata.
The Expected outcome was page 5 changing to say "hello".
What happened is all pages were erased and page 1 edited to say "hello"
Steps to recreate issue:
1: Place Written Book, with more than 1 page filled out, into an item frame.
2: Use command /entitydata @e[type=ItemFrame] {Item:{tag:{pages:[X:"Text"]}}}
NOTE X is the page number you wish to change

Using your method results in the same problem.
When I used the command: /entitydata @e[type=ItemFrame] {Item:{tag:{pages:["","","","Hello"]}}}
Pages 1-3 had "null" written over the pages i had as they should not have, and page 4 changed to "Hello" as it should have.
Yup, because you're setting page one, two, and there to "", which results in null. You can't change a specific page because it's an Array
Thanks for clearing that up. Still it would be nice to be able to Edit a Specific page using Commands, That way we could create an "Adventure Log" like item that can update specific pages after a player completes a pre-determined task.
It would have to have
pages:["{text:\"\"}","{text:\"\"}","{text:\"\"}","{text:\"Hello\"}"]
to work correctly, however I believe that it would make the command too long to paste in the chat bar, but would work in command blocks.
