In paper, I've read the first three books in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and the next three are sitting in paperback on my TBR bookcase. I may decide to purchase them as eBooks and give away the paperbacks in my book-swapping group. I won't go back any further in my paper-reading history.

Since the number of pages on a reader is dependent upon the size of the font and the line spacing, I try to use the page count from the paperback edition, if available. I use this in my reading records as it works for paper books, electronic books, and audio books.

The longest book I've read on my reader is The Pillars of the Earth which is 976 pages in paperback. Second was Breaking Dawn, the fourth in the Twilight series. The entire series comes in at 2560 pages (1st 3 in paperback, last in hardback). Third was The Lies of Locke Lamora at 752 pages in its print edition.

I also bought Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion from Baen and read it on my Kindle and Sony readers. The trilogy was re-printed in a single paperback volume and totals 1535 pages for all three novels.
