It's 1000 pages and must weight close to three pounds but it won't take up much space on my reader.

There is a nail and a head involved there somewhere. I am one of those people that will take 5 books away with me for one week, despite only having the time to read about 30 pages! It is all about the choice. As for big books, I think my first ebook will be probably be 'War and Peace' which I have been wanting to read for ages, and is essentially free and weightless in this Brave New World in which we find ourselves.
