How much memory does a book take up?

Are you looking for a general answer, or more specifically to iBooks? Basic eBooks that don't have a lot of rich content are very small -- books in the Kindle store are typically 150-300 kilobytes each (meaning I cannot imagine the likelihood that I will fill my 2GB Kindle before it breaks).

Primarily interested in finding out how much memory a (mostly) textual book would take up. Is there much overhead versus the 'raw' count of lines/words per page?

The epubs I have vary in size from a few hundred KB to a few MB depending on whether they pure text with a cover image or have images in them.

PDF's seem to range from around 1MB to 4MB.

i have 6 books on my ipad, they take up 23 MB according to Itunes

I've found pretty much what everyone else is saying. No more than a few megs max
