The result of this survey so far, indicates that "debut" authors going the trad publishing route are at a disadvantage with a large portion of readers who like long novels.

You also have to consider the source, meaning that most of the people here are so into reading we've gone out and spent hundreds of dollars and high tech ways to read/carry more books. I'd bet you results would be much different if you took this pole over to some less reading oriented site.
