What equates to about 500 pages of text?

Answer 1

Assume:

55 lines per page

80 characters per line

1 byte of data per character

(500 pages) x (55 lines/page) x (80 char/line) = 2,200,000 characters

At 1 byte per character, that's

2 MB plus 95 KB. (rounded)

Answer 2

It depends on the font, font size, and spacing used, but generally, about 500 pages of text would be equivalent to around 200,000 to 300,000 words. This could vary significantly based on formatting choices.
