Oh-kay...

You're assuming that the verbiage is excess padding. I'm worried that the author may have written one 600-page book ("The Rutabagas") and is selling that as three separate 200-page books to maximize his revenue. ("Soil and Water: Book I of the Rutabagas trilogy").

I just think that stories should be allowed to reach their natural length. If it only needs 50K, well, that's what it took.
Agreed. But if it took 150K, I don't want to have to buy 3 50K books.
