Yes, that's what I meant. The purchased 'ebook' was the whole thing, just that it was a short story - not a full length novel.
You can't always trust file size, because some include a large graphic (front page or whatever) and that inflates the file size - in fact it can be bigger than the book itself
Word count is a good idea , and it can be automated. Some have a reading time, but I bet it's estimated from word count.
