Yes, I know what you mean. I just finished reading Jack of Diamonds in paperback, all 711 pages of it! A very enjoyable read but I would have preferred an ebook version. Bryce was one of the world's great storytellers and I've read most of his works, some twice (Power of One) We're going to miss him. RIP Bryce.
