I think classic science fiction offers some interesting examples here. H.G. Wells managed to explore some remarkable ideas in relatively short novels like The Time Machine, while books like Dune need considerably more room for their world-building.
One thing I've noticed is that reading digitally makes a long book feel a little less intimidating. Without a thick physical book in your hands, you tend to focus more on the story than the page count.
I'm curious whether others feel the same way about longer novels on an e-reader.
