I read it on my version on my iPad with iBooks and the copy I grabbed has empty pages between each chapter and then usually the last 100 or so pages are dedicated to explaining the various houses of the land to give the reader some more info. There's also the maps at the beginning of the book, so in total it probably comes up to 1450 or so. The only reason I can think for the publisher splitting the book in two is to make more money, or they were afraid that fans of the fantasy genre would be turned off by large novels, which leads me to believe the publishers are complete idiots.
