There is no difference between them, except for their length. But it doesn't usually matter when the story of the book is good and of high quality.

I find it more challenging to read on screen for long as well. Even tho kindle doesn't have illumination, it bores my mind and after a few minutes I already find it hard to stay focused on it. Tho I must say lately it hasn't been much easier to read physical books as well.

I prefer books either way. I cannot say I care for the length of a book. As long as it is interesting and filled with enough to keep me interested, I'm good.

I understand how you feel. Sometimes books with too many pages overwhelm me. But if the book is good, then I always sit through all the pages.

I find it easier to read long eBooks than paperbacks. In screen I can see a single page and so it not a big deal to turn to the next page. But if I have to read a humongous paperback of self-help book, I will be stifled by the sheer volume.

Depends on the content of the book to be honest. I have read a 70 page book that taught me a lot and then a 300 page one that was just all over the place. I do like short books with deep meanings better, though.
