Actually I think it depends on what you mean by size myself. Granted there are no actual 'pages' as such in an ebook, but there is the byte size. I mean ebooks come in different sizes as regards how many kb's or mb's of space they take up though I imagine part of that is dependant on the format (epub vs. mobi for example) and whether or not there are image files included in the book itself. Still it's a good bet that a book of say 80 kb is going to have a shorter text length than one that's 1.5 MB's in size since most fiction books (at least) don't have a lot of image files unlike perhaps a non-fiction book which could have many.

I like longer works....even series of longer works. I do miss the satisfaction of finishing a "big book". There is no sense of size for ebooks.
