Only 2,500 pages in print, by the way: http://www.amazon.com/Merck-Manual-H.../dp/0911910301
How does 2500 pages become 9000 pages? 9000 screens at a specified font /line space/margin.

I have a (really old) 30 (equal sized) volume Encyclopedia Britanica .
They just broke it up at the next 2 letter grouping, when it reached the targeted page count.
Why not the same with e-bookS? Note: there would not be the need to make break at the second letter as ebooks do offer more size flexibility
