With paper books, the length of the book is obvious: you can see the book, pick it up, open it up to see how dense the text is. It does seem there are a significant number of people who don't understand book length for e-books. Word count tells you the length, but you need to understand what it means. Part of the problem is that those who complain the loudest about works being too short don't seem to recognize that they need to learn something about how to understand book length.
