<p class=MsoNormal>The file sizes are fairly consistent across different book
projects. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A book that is about 300 pages yields these file sizes:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>16-bit Grayscale TIFF with Metadata 2.58 GB<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Rich Text File 1.42 MB*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Word 2003 XML 2.51MB*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>DAISY 3 Fileset 1.23MB*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>* File sizes include added markup.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The average delivered file size is around 1-2 MB in RTF or
DAISY.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Larger books make larger files but even if we process a book
that is three times that size the resulting DAISY fileset should only be about four
or five megabytes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As far as storage, our approach is a simple one. “Get
as much as you can.” We have two terabytes dedicated to storing
TIFF and working data but we aren’t using all of it by any measure. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi folks, I have had a request for some hard data on
average book size and storage capacities you are using in the more well
developed Alt Format programs. If you have any aggregate numbers and
averages I would really appreciate any data you can provide me.<o:p></o:p></p>
