No idea!  Smile, but I will say that that book had a lot of formatting, a 
lot of bold, italics, and underlining, so perhaps?

Braille doesn't contain those kinds of formatting and I know that they take 
up space.

Though, smile, let me check. Mine the .rtf has 735 Kb as its size.  I 
suspect the mark up takes a lot, but I can't imagine that much.

maybe John should look into it.

has anyone downloaded it, does it behave properly?
