But in those sorts of collections, the other authors are also going to be writing a story in one of their series that we don't want to read because we don't want to spoil that series if someday we might ever want to read it. And if we don't ever want to read that author or that series, then the extra pages are a waste of money (IMHO). No reason we can't get just an eBook short story.
