I've downloaded more than one book on my iPod that turned out to be 10 page short stories. I see the same problem with my Kobo.
Even Sony's which will have page length doesn't have the true page length. I usually check out a B&N or Amazon for a paperback version to find out how big a book is. This seems to be the only real way to know a book's size before buying it online.
