I downloaded it out of curiosity.  There is a .zip version of only 
~350K.  Ran in the background while I was reading email and 'didn't feel a 
thing'.

BTW, Grant mentioned storing for reference.  I'm interested in the ability 
to search within a large work.  How many times have you read something in a 
book, but forgotten where it was and can't find it again, particularly in 
serious non-fiction, where you need the quote or the reference?  I ran into 
that with an author of a well known book on privacy. I wrote to him to ask 
if he could point me to the concept that I was interested in because I 
couldn't find it again.  He sent me an electronic copy of the whole thing!
