18.88 MB

Has anyone bought one of these before? I'm wondering why the file is so darn big, and if it makes the book run slowly.

FYI I normally would rather have one of my small map guides, but as I'm going to be sitting on my butt most of the time, I thought this was a good option.
The size is undoubtedly due to pictures. Several of the books I've posted here are of a similar size.

It doesn't make any different to the "speed" of page turns, or anything like that.
