Do think #online platforms that sell #books should allow patrons to arrange #search results by order of the number of pages per #book? #Bookstodon #Reading @bookstodon
@bibliolater @bookstodon No. Would lead to gaming in yet another dimension. Meet the 1 page book. Meet the 100,000,000 page book. These exciting new works appear at the top of some queries.... Just encourages a new type of spam.
@peltast @xi_timpin @bookstodon How does a buyer have an indication whether a #book has the required depth of content or value of price without such a metric? #Reading #Books #Bookstodon
@bibliolater: Yeah, that's a really good metric then. Long books with lots of pages are inevitably better than short books. End of.
@xi_timpin It was a question. I do not claim to have all the answers. Thank you for your contribution.
