The answer is YES. If you have a kindle, go to ‘content and devices’ on you amazon account. Download the file, and send it to you kindle email. Then it will show up on your kindle as a document, but it reads just like any other book!

Short Fiction Forms: Novella, Novelette, Short Story, and Flash Fiction Defined. When it comes to fiction, a short narrative can be found in many forms, from a slim book to just a few sentences. Short fiction forms can generally be broken down based on word count.

The average short story should run anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 words, but they can be anything above 1,000 words. Flash fiction is a short story that is 500 words or less.

The Handbook suggests that a novelette is “longer than a short story and shorter than a novel” (360). It further describes a short novel as being between 15,000 and 50,000 words (479).

Short Story: A short story is a relatively brief fictional narrative in prose. It may range in length from the short-short story of 500 words up to the “long-short story” of 12,000 to 15,000 words.
