If there are not a lot of pictures in a book, average 500 page pdf (exact book image) should be under 10 MB size, whether using newer Abbyy 11/12 (ocr under image) or Acrobat 11 (clearscan).

But it could then take 3-4 seconds for slower ereaders to turn the next page, so in that case bigger pdf size (lower compression method) is better idea if we want to turn the next page faster i.e. about one second.
