With an average novel at about 500kb (with cover art), a 2-gb card can carry about 4000 ebooks. Without cover art, they can be 200kb each... 10,000 book library on one small card. And that's without getting into short stories at 75kb each.
(Sorry; just tangenting.  Not relevant to discussion. I'm just constantly amazed at the sheer amount of TEXT I can carry around in my purse these days.) |
Ain't it GRAND, Elfwreck!!!!
(And if they had been willing to support SDHC, there would have been 32GB chips. 160,000 books on a chip, anyone?)
