Yes, reading speed and time available to read varies enormously per person. Some days (and most of the night
) I might read 3 books. Book size also varies somewhat with genre, author etc.
I like having my entire electronic library on portable devices. Choice. I have about 8,000 ebooks (mostly longer than novella) on my ereader and about 90% are PD. I add titles faster than I read
My tablet has less ebooks but 30 years of PDFs etc.
So certainly if "ebooks" are towards 1k to 10K words rather than 100k to 300k (many SF & F, but unlikely with mysteries, westerns, romances, younger than "young adult") they need anthologised, which especially on anything other than Kobo managed with Calibre allows easier finding if TOC is good and selection for anthology is sensible.
I think some traditional Mills & Boons/ Harlequin are maybe shorter than novella and you could read maybe 4 a day.
