You bring up some good thoughts, and it takes all kinds.

File size is a real consideration. The Federalist Papers is just under 700mb as audio.

I have a collection of CDs of James Earl Jones reading the Old Testament. It is 14 CDs. CDs are approx 650MB. I'm sure it would be a heck of a lot smaller as MP3s, but still, it's gonna be huge, compared to the text.

Here are 2 files of the entire Bible. As just plain ascii text, it is almost 5MB. Naturally it is a bit smaller as an epub, since those files are compressed.

I use the Bible as a way of describing how big a MB is. Most folk have a good feel for how big the Bible is. Once they know that it is approximately 5 MB, the can get a better idea of what a megabyte is.
