We helped some folks over the pond with a large book (Hi Craig!) for the
Financial Times of London. That experience shows that there are some
practical limits to what you can do. For example, a typical OmniGo page will
hold about 100 words without any graphics, assuming 12pt typeface. You can
only cram so much information into a file that will fit on the RAMDisk of an
OG. A 200k file is pretty much the limit, and that's pushing it.
I was looking at a bunch of files that I've done, and it looks like the
typical OG Book Reader file runs around 1k per page with a small number of
graphics. So, if you have a 500 page technical manual, it *is* possible to
do it, but it'll take up half of your SRAM card. :-(

Actually, there's more people here who "watch" you. :-) We're just very quiet.
