Yeah. The most I've paid for an ebook is $15, for the 1000-page "1Q84" and the 1100-page "A Dance with Dragons." $15 for that much book is worth it to me, because I know I'll be reading it for weeks. But there's no way I'd pay that much for a 200- or 300-page novel. I'll wait for the paperback, borrow it from the library, or obtain it via "other" means if I absolutely cannot wait. Knowing how long the book is before I buy it is very important to me, so much so that sometimes I'll find the book in an actual bookstore just to see how much "book" there is.
