It could have been a small version (I understand that 1x2 miniatures have been printed for use as talismans) or the book could have been flushed down page by page
My understanding is that the ones at Gitmo were all standard sized for easy reading. The report of the detainee flushing pages to stop the plumbing as a protest, has not gotten near enough attention.
The media is turning a blind eye to this, just like they did dan blaTHer's 60 minutes of lies on President Bush's National Guard service.
The one and only news channel that has talked about the detainee flushing the Koran is...guess which one? FOX News. Of course we all know how biased they are over there. Thats why their ratings are so abysmally low. (sarcasm)
