I should hope that storage space wouldn't be an issue. Each book on the site
takes up less than a couple of megabytes on average; and that is a generous
estimate when you figure that the books are compressed. A very long novel,
Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton, which I checked, takes up almost exactly
two megabytes for the zipped Daisy and brf files put together. Most books will
take up less space than that. I could store the entire
Bookshare library on my laptop and have plenty of space left over.

Now that you mention it that phrase sounds familiar to me too. And if I
didn't have the habit of reading and responding to my email in the order it
came in, but instead read all of it before responding, I would have had that
phrase in mind from your later messages and would not have had to say that I
did not recall the reason she gave us. Be that as it may, though, she did not
tell us that it was storage space.

The reason Pavi gave was the one I already mentioned: that it was stressful
for the database to deliver those long lists. I no longer have the message here,
but I recall that phrase distinctly.

I can't help but think that you are remembering wrong. I remember Pavi
explaining the reason for not displaying more than a hundred results. I do not
remember
the reason she gave, but I do not recall it being storage space. I remember
it being something else.

It startled me too when engineering talked about not being able to
show all of "check in books" as one list because of storage space
considerations.
You and I Larry both agree about storeage being inexpensive. No idea
what is going on except they told me storeage was an issue for them.
