Hi,
Thanks to both of you for suggesting that I convert to .doc. The book size
is significantly smaller -- 3 megabytes. Amazing! For everyone else who has
this problem, the solution outlined below works like magic.

I bet if you saved it in MS Word, and then brought it back to .rtf, it
wouldn't be 40 meg.

Munawar I believe you are allowed to zip your book
before you upload it and that would make it smaller.

You could also upload as a DOC file which sometimes is
smaller than an RTF file.

40 mb is a big file for a book though. The two I
uploaded last night were both rtf files and I don't
think either of them were bigger than 2 mb.
