Best Answer

Uncompressed:

More than 100 thousand... (in other words, more than anybody will ever need)

Compressed:

Easily several hundred thousand 8*10 inch pages of plain-text (just letters, numbers, and punctuation)

Possibly up to a million pages...

Calculations are generous:

Using another answer of about 5,000 (was under 4k) letters per page:

5,000 characters directly translates into 5kb

a typical CD holds about 700mb of data

700mb/5kb = 140,000

a typical CD will hold over 100 thousand 8*10 inch pages of raw text (just numbers, letters, and punctuation) (not double sided), uncompressed

compressed to 20% of original size:

500,000 pages of text

How many pages of pure 16-bits Unicode text can a 650MB CD-ROM hold?

Each ASCII character requires one byte. Assuming that a typical page of text holds about 2000 characters, then the CD-ROM can hold about : 650 MB/2 KB or 325,000 pages. Unicode would store half as much, but with multilingual capability. This result does not include space used for illustrations. It also does not include fonts and graphic formatting used for WYSIWYG display, which would require some space. The result gives a good idea of the incredible capacity of CD-ROMs.
