You didn't give any absolute sizes, but consider a 90 minute movie is typically around 1.5GB compressed to a watchable but not super crisp video quality. Are you saying that your comic is in that range? I would expect somewhere in the neighbourhood of 0.5 to 2MB per page, giving 150-600MB for a 300 page book. 1.5GB is around 2.5 times that, which is high end but maybe not crazy.

Edit: oops, didn't realize this is a necro-thread.
Necro-thread or not it is still an interesting question. Of course you need a good sized HD in a tablet or regular computer to have many on hand I would think. Something like the Kindle for example with a couple big files would be filled in no time.
