I love both. I think it takes enormous talent to craft a short story that's not lacking in any major narrative aspect. I especially enjoy horror stories. But, like you, if it's a plot or author I love, I always want more. Make it a 20-part series! Good thing we don't have to carry those humongous books around anymore, though.
So both long and short stories are good, but it depends?
About the books, well... I like books. E-books are practical, and of course, when travelling, they are super - except that they eat the battery time of the mobile device. But a physical book is still the best for real book enjoyment, I think :)
The feeling of holding it, the eyes catching that same spot where you left the book and put it away earlier, the way of planning the reading that the phenomenon of "pages" add to the experience - and the beauty that a book can have, with nice paper and binding, large margins, illustrations that actually can be seen in their full size, etc.
Hahaha. I'm going to go with short stories that are awesome, but it takes a special talent to make them great, and they suit mostly some genres. You can't have a slow-burn romance or an epic fantasy in a short format.
I absolutely love physical books and being able to have something tangible that contains so much meaning. But, for example, senior folks like my mom, who loves to read, can't really hold a huge hefty book without hurting her shoulder, in this case. And for someone who's always on the go, like me, Kindles are a godsend.
