This has gotten some great reviews. Thank you, Bexbits! (I think you meant 'pages' and not 'words'.)

I've just now downloaded it and will pop it onto my Kindle and give it a try.

I'm showing 813 pages on this thing.

The Kindle edition shows 323 [real] pages, so I'm wondering if this is really as 'big' as it is. It has about 144,000 words, which tends to make me think it's not as long as I would like.

Here's the Kindle link, by the way, for anyone who may wish to look at it from a different site:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-of-De...book+of+deacon

However, as I said, I downloaded it and will attempt to read it. It certainly looks like a good read.

Thank you!

ADDED: The thing about 'real' page length and 'screen' page length is one of the issues most of us face who love ebook Readers. So, still looking......
