Books are not too expensive, but many books are too long. I don't mean that it's bad for books to be long, but a lot of books have about 50-60 pages worth of real content, and editors and publishers demand that fluff is added because people don't want to pay ~$20 for a 50 page book. But by adding the fluff they did not actually increase the value per dollar, but instead wasted a small amount of their time.

- hx8 6mo agoThis is very true in non-fiction, where you can clearly see authors take an idea that should be a long blog post and stretch it out to 150 pages. The same authors usually have blog posts that should have been tweets.
