My guestimate system would have given 40 pages per chapter, 14000 words per chapter (1188 kindle pages, 30 chapters). Which didn't seem that bad (I was going to suggest that they only seemed long
).
But I found a
word count for Atlas Shrugged of 645000 words. So that's an average of 21500 words per chapter (and an average of 590 words per page on the 1088 page paperback). Using the 350 words per page average (to compare to what I was saying above) that would give 61 pages.
That puts the chapter lengths firmly into novella territory.
