I assume the title refers to the readers. Not the fake readers (including a family member) who posted five-star reviews, but any real readers.
Double Spacing the body, taking up four pages for the TOC, and using an entire page for each chapter number and title are great ways to make a novella seem like a tome.
Sometimes this is done accidentally by DIY authors who heard “standard manuscript format is double-spaced” but don’t realize that means for submission to a publisher (or the think KDP is the publisher) but sometimes this is done to pad a book for Kindle Select–participants in that program are paid so much per “page read.”
Google “page stuffing” for more deets, if you want ’em.

I know all about page stuffing, and many other ways they try to cheat the system.
oookay. Sorry.
