By happy ending I mean several things: the plot is nicely tied up, like in an Agatha Christie whodunnit; or the right couple get together; or the baddie gets his comeuppance. It depends upon the genre.
What I don't like in endings are cliffhangers or, for example, thrillers in which they don't manage to save the day, the hero gets killed, the nuclear bomb explodes, or they don't manage to prevent whatever disaster from happening.
So a happy ending is a satisfying one. I don't want to wade through 300 plus pages then feel like throwing my kindle at the wall! (A fate which often befell paperbacks.)
