I think that processing is more the issue as I understand it. When they were asked about why we no longer had access to the entire list of books ready to be checked out or why we could no longer get the entire list of authors beginning with a certain letter, engineering used the phrase "stresses the database". They didn't say anything about storage limitations.

That sounds more like processing power or catering to older browsers that can't handle unlimited size pages than pure hdd space. Like I said, if actual storage space is an issue, bookshare has bigger problems than duplicate books in the collection. Before going blind I worked on database systems with multi-terabyte storage requirements. If storage space is a problem, you simply have more significant problems than whatever task you are trying to solve at the moment.

Apparently, storage space is one of the reasons cited by engineering for not having the entire "check in books" page come up as one list so we can search the entire list instead of the way it is now where we can only search a hundred at a time.
