I actually read a pbook that was very popular (Lonesome Dove) that had it been even 2 or 3 times longer, I would have quit reading long before I did. Up until the last chapter, I keep thinking - "This book has potential. Maybe it really get somewhere." For me, it never did. It just stopped. Had it been longer I would not have read past the "original" first 25%.
That really proves how we all have different tastes. I loved Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, it's one of my favourites. But I hated Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and found the writing style irritating and repetitive.

The one thing I wish for in the Cybook is to be able to read when the battery is re-charging.
