If I'm reading a book in a series and I like it enough I'll seek out the next book in the series. I don't need any previews or adverts for the any of the other books in the series. I also don't need a list of the author's books or review blurbs. And in Penguin eBooks, I don't need the embedded fonts they always put in and I don't need the advert page that goes with the fonts or the extra CSS file that sometimes is there with the advert page.

There can be a lot of excess that we don't need. That can be why a novella can be larger then some novels.
