Am I the only person that looks at the number of pages in a book before I buy it? It doesn't matter if it is a physical book or an e-book. I don't buy an expensive (or even inexpensive book) if there aren't a lot of pages in it.

For example, there are a lot of e-books that are $0.99. But I have a hard time paying for ANYTHING that isn't 100 pages or more.

Am I the only one with this problem? Is it a problem at all?

I'm not really like that with books (though, I hate buying novellas. I only buy them if I really really really love the series) However, I always look at page number before reading, to see how long it will take me to read it. Sometimes page numbers are also the deciding factor on whether I will read it then or not.

I feel like there should be a mandatory minimum page length for any books that are being sold.
