I tend to prefer longer stories. If something is labeled a short story or a novella, I almost always bypass it. I like the longer form -- in both p and e books -- because if the story and the characters are well done, I don't feel as if I just started to become engrossed with them to have the book end.
OTOH, because of the abundance of free and very inexpensive ebooks, I have less patience with an ebook than with a pbook. The writing, characters, and story need to grab my interest within the first 30 or so pages or I delete the ebook from my reader and never go back to it again (with the huge TBR pile I have, there seems to be no reason to give a book or author a second or third chance).
