As others have said the best length of a story is determined by the story itself, not by the technology. However, I have recently read Haruki Murakami's new novel 1Q84 (Vol. 1 & 2) which has about 1,000 pages as hardcover on my reader. It was unbelievably convenient to be able to just slip that story on my reader into the pocket of my jacket and to be able to read it at any opportunity. It would certainly have taken me much longer to complete it if it had been the hardcover version, as I wouldn't have lugged that massive book around.
