3. A more exact answer may be found using some math:
First we'll assume that we're using 8.5x11 paper and the font Lucida Console size 10, which is a fixed font used by the latest Microsoft Notepad application. Second, we'll assume that the text is encoded using 8-bit encoding. This encoding is actually now antiquated, but it works much better for the math. New encoding methods use variable-bit encoding, so a page of one letter might be different from a page of another letter. The reason for the fixed font is that a page of i's will always be smaller than a page of W's unless the i takes the same space as W. With the previous conditions, one letter size page with 0" margins and standard spacing will have 79 lines of 102 characters each, giving 8058 characters per page.
On with the math:
8058 characters/page
8 bits per character
8 bits per byte
8058 bytes/page
1 KB = 1024 B
1 MB = 1024 KB = 1048576 B
1 GB = 1024 MB = 1048576 KB = 1073741824 B
Divide 1073741824 by 8058, and you find that one gigabyte can hold a raw
133251 Full Pages and 5266 Characters (or about 65% of another page). Note that the math gives the "raw" amount of text, which does not include any additional file information.
Hope that's definitive enough for you.
2. Well whoever wrote that last thing [Answer 1] really doesn't know what hes talking about,
if you want a lot of pages, with less storage, go find someone that will host your pictures, videos and files then just use the HTML, that way you save a lot of memory,
There are a lot of websites that host files like Mediafire and Filefront,
there is also some websites that host videos like YouTube,
I knew a few hosting services that host pictures, but I forgot most of them,
I think that ImageShack hosts them.
Anyways, once you upload them into any of those hosting services, you can copy/paste the HTML if the page supports HTML format.
This is how much space you will save:
100Mb video will be
15KB in your website if you use HTML
You will save a lot
A reply to answer 2:
The first response was a better answer to the question than the second response. The question was "how many pages of text can be stored in a gigabyte", not how many videos or pictures can be stored on a remote server.
If you have a 1GB thumb drive and zipped text pages, that would push the number up by a factor of 4 or more providing the documents were plain text.
there would be 1,000 pages in 10mb

Depends. Your average 'picture' on a site can be from 3-5k for a thumbnail or icon up to almost anything but usually around 50k for a background texture. I'm no good at math but I reckon the site we're on now would be well under a megabyte for the page. So... perhaps 3-4 views of a page such as this?
Unforunately, there is no answer to this. A web page consists of many elements, images, text, dynamic items (movies, sound, moving parts, basically), as well as programming, etc. To ask how many pages are in 3 mb is to ask how many pages is a book? It varies. It all depends on what the site holds, what is on those pages, and how it was coded.
Officially, Word 2003 and 2007 can handle documents up to 32 MB, which means if it is all text you can have 10,000 pages. Source: Microsoft Community Support.

1 gigabyte equals 1000 megabytes, 1 megabyte equals 1000 kilobytes, and 1 kilobyte equals 1000 bytes. To give you some idea of the storage potential, a byte is used to store a character of text. If a line is 50 characters then a 1000 bytes is 20 lines of text, if a page is 50 lines, then 2500 bytes is a page and so a megabyte is 400 pages of text or a long book. So you can store a library of 1000 long books without pictures on a GB storage unit. Pictures require far more storage space. The amount needed depends on the size and resolution. You can put 1000 one MB picture on a 1 GB unit. Movies are frames of pictures and require vastly more storage and audio adds to the storage requirements.
A megabyte can hold approximately 1 million bytes of data, which is equivalent to roughly 500 pages of plain text or a few minutes of audio or video.
It isn't clear how you would measure a text message in minutes. Normally, text messages have a length in characters - each character is probably 1 or 2 bytes. A byte, of course, is one millionth of a MB.

100KB (kilobytes) is equivalent to 100,000 bytes. In the context of digital storage, this amount of data can hold approximately 100 text pages, depending on the formatting. It's a relatively small size in today's standards, suitable for simple documents or small images. For comparison, a typical high-quality JPEG image can range from 100KB to several megabytes.
