I'm looking through my electronic textbook library. Most are high school and college-level math and science texts, but I have some sociology, history and foreign language (lots of conjugation charts and graphics for vocabulary). The largest text book I have is 28 MB; the average size of the 87 text books I have is 17 MB.

Since 75% of my text books are McGraw-Hill titles, and my areas of concentration are not all-inclusive, I do not claim that my books are representative of all text books. I only suggest that text books may not be universally as large as you might think.
