The size of the file is indicative of the size of the page. Average page size = file size / number of pages. I originally asked about the file size, to get an idea of how much RAM may be required by that book.
Some books have very large pages, due either to graphic complexity (especially books drawn in a "comic book" style, and books that were not OCR'd where every page is a photo containing text). I have a large collection of PD books going back for decades, and some of them are of the "all images" format.
Memory issues with complex books are especially problematic on newer kindles, that have much larger OS software, and much less for the applications that render PDF files.
