Speaking of monster books, I have À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) on my Fire tablet both in French and in English. The novel is usually published in six volumes of roughly 600 pages each, and is conventionally regarded as containing a million words. I bought both of them cheaply on Amazon (the translation is the 1920s classic by C K Scott Moncrieff).

I've never had a problem reading or searching either "book", and Proust's chapters are very long indeed. To be sure, I haven't opened either one on Sigil, but I can testify that the Fire tablet can handle giga-books easily.
