If a light novel is 600 pages long, can it really be called a "light" novel?

Big fonts, small words, triple-spaced, lots of illustrations? Laughing

I picked up a ~300 page book the other day and said "ahh, this looks like a nice short read." *adds vote to yes* Personally, I have a bigger problem with their definition of "simultaneous," given the lack of even pre-orders at TRSI/Amazon/etc.

I'll agree that 'simultaneous' is a stretch, but I really don't expect a US release given that we don't even see the sixth book 'til June -- it would kind of mess with people to release the 10th now.

If only Yen Press would hurry up a little with the light novels...
