Size Matters?

As we've been editing our book, mostly adding descriptive text to help readers visualize the story, we began to wonder approximately how long an ebook should be.

After searching the Internet, we have determined that the ideal size is inconclusive. Some argue that travelers on the go want relatively small books, perhaps something they can finish en route. A full-sized novel may, therefore, be impractical for your average reader. Conversely, others argue that longer ebooks sell better.

As a result, we are going to ignore the word count entirely, and allow the book to achieve its natural length. If we are forced to modify that later by a publisher, then we will cross that bridge at that time. In the meantime, we will focus on telling our story.
