How many books can 512MB hold?

Answer 1

More than enough. With typical ebooks ranging from 1 MB to 20 MB, you get from 400 to 8000 books in 8 GB of space.

Answer 2

Define "book". Define "hold", for that matter.

A typewritten page in English represents about 1 kb of data (speaking VERY roughly), so 512 MB would be around a half million pages of text. You should be able to estimate how many books of the sort you're interested in it would take to reach a half million pages.

The other factor is whether or not compression is allowed. Plain text compresses very, very well; factors of 8 or 10 are not at all unheard of, so that will expand the number of books that can be held by quite a bit.

Answer 3

The number of books that can be stored on a 512MB device will vary depending on the size of each book file. On average, a plain text book is around 1MB, so a 512MB device could hold approximately 512 plain text books. However, larger files, such as books with images or multimedia elements, will take up more space and reduce the number of books that can be stored.
