question, how many stories?

I was wondering if I made an e-book with a collection of short stories, how many stories should be in it? How many pages are the stories? I have 4 stories right now.

An ebook of short stories sounds like a lovely idea. As for how many short stories, that would be up to you. Depending on the length of each short story you already have, you could use those along with a few shorter, one page mini-stories that don't include as much details.

If you are selling the ebook on Amazon, then you will want to ensure that the book is at least 100 pages long. This is about right for a decent sized ebook. If each story is one page long, that will be 100 stories in total.

From what I know, the usual length of a book is 150 pages or so for a paperback. In terms of Word document, that's around 100 pages. For a book of short stories, perhaps a minimum of 8 stories will do. Of course, that would depend on the length of your short stories. I have a friend who had published an e-book of short stories with only 5 stories that are pretty long. But for best results, check on other published e-books to have a factual guide on the issue.
