Time to bring back a thread from the dead.
The longest book on the e-reader so far is only about 482 pages.
I've read some long ones in tree format though. Vikram Seth's ~A Suitable Boy~ was by far the longest. 591,552 words (according to Wikipedia). The paperback is 1,488 pages long. I loved it. I devoured it in a few weeks reading it on the bus and late into the night. Often reading 100 pages a night. Of course, I was single, on a workterm, and had lots of time.
Other notable long books: Stephen King's ~It~ (1,104 pages), Charles Dickens ~Pickwick Papers~ (786 pages), Herman Melville's ~Moby Dick~ (656 pages), Wally Lamb's ~I Know this Much is True~ (928 pages).
