Every SA book has been longer than the previous one, and I think Sanderson mentioned that the Rythm of War paperback, at the time when it released, was pushing the limit of thickness that the publisher was able to print. These are chonky books indeed.

Rules First and foremost, we ask that everyone show respect to others in this community. Every interaction on the community must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. We also have several rules concerning spoilers, appropriate content, and more.
The real reason for the wait before books 6-10 is so that publishers have enough time to invent new printing technologies to handle even thicker books
I've never seen a hardcover book with pages this thin. Reminds me of the old yellow pages books.
Damn! I also only use an ebook and thought about buying this book in print to read instead. That just looks like it would be unwieldy to hold when reading. I would have turned around and bought the ebook.
