I have looked at different reviews of several of the books that I have read in the past and some of the reviews say that the book is 1100 or so pages long while reviews of the electronic book have stated that the book is only 600 or so pages long. Is it possible for the electronic book to be actually shorter then the printed paperback? What accounts for this difference in lengths of the two different editions of the same book? I thought, in the past, that the paperback and the electronic editions had to be the same legth since they are editions of the same book.
