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. Munawar A.

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.
