The trouble with a kindle is you have no physical sense of the length of the story. I felt as though I was reaching the end of the story arc, but then noticed I was only 30% through the book. No idea if I'm just trudging through slowly, or if it's a bloody great thick book and I should settle in for a long ride. This, for me, is why my kindle will never truly be as good a a book.
Anyway, those of you who have read the physical book - is it a big fat Luminaries sized thing? Or a slightly smaller Shantaram sized thing? Or normal sized and I'm just being slow?
