I really prefer full length novels, and I've noticed some trends lately. There are independent authors that I think are selling bargain books because they are bypassing the publisher ($0.99 to $3.99). However, when I purchase them I find out they are really short novels. It's not easy to tell ahead of time because the size is padded with a couple of sample chapters from additional books.
One author whose work I really like uses this approach. If you price it 'by the word' its not really much of a bargain.
