Longest ebook? Hmmm...

That would have to be A Storm of Swords, book 3 of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. It was over a thousand 'Nook pages'. Not sure what that translates into actual pages, but I do know that ASoS in paperback form was split into two...

I haven't read it yet, but I think Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings (which is on my TBR list) will overtake GRRM when I get around to it.

The Stand (1472 pages)
The Pillars of the Earth (1008 pages)
The World Without End (1056 pages)

I've read & enjoyed Atlas Shrugged, which Wikipedia says is 645,000+ words. Also enjoyed The Stand (464,000+ words).

I've read & enjoyed very long fanfic--jAnon's Observations is a Star Trek reboot story that's 414,000+ words, and one of my favorite fanfic authors has several stories that are about a quarter-million words each.

A Dance with Dragons is 1040 hardcover pages. So even more in paperback I would guess. I don't have the ePub so I cannot comment on it's page numbers.

I don't remember the page count, but the unabridged Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was the first ebook that I read.

I just bought it. Mine has 1116 pages, but I ran it thru Calibre and inserted metadata as page at start of book so that's an extra page or two.

Longest ebook... I have no idea. But the longest paperback i've read was Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, and since I recently downloaded it in ebook form, I guess it counts as a ebook. But really though, I never bother counting my books by word count, so I can't say for sure.

James Clavell's Noble House is somewhere around 1300 pages. For a single volume, it's the longest on my Nook.

The Nookbook [ePub] of A Dance with Dragons is 1100 pages even before Calibre.

Ken Follett definitely writes long books! Fall of Giants was the longest ebook that I read in 2010, and The Pillars of the Earth was the longest ebook for me in 2009. Drood by Dan Simmons was another long one that I read in 2010.

I loved The Historian too! I read it in 2006 in hardback before I had an ereader. However, I do not recommend The Swan Thieves. You might also enjoy books by Kate Mosse or Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
