Where are Stanza documents stored?

Sun, 11/08/2009 - 11:49 — poikkeus

It's working fine, but I have a few questions that should be easy for someone to answer.

I downloaded a number of novels and installed them on my iPod Touch, 64gig. What are the size of these documents? Several are long, long novels. How will I know when I've reached a limit on what I can install? How much storage, in megabytes, should something like Proust's cycle take up?

Thanks for your expertise.

Thanks

This information was helpful. I'm amazed that I can put nearly all of Remembrance of Things Past - a big, multivolume work - on my little iPod Touch, as well as dozen Russian epics - and still have loads of room left over.

The books will be stored in

The books will be stored in the same folder that Stanza has been installed to on the iPhone/iTouch. This in accordance with Apple's standard's for apps that say any data files for the app are co-located.

In terms of space ebooks are comparitively small files. A 1MB file is a large ebook file in this context (although books with lots of embedded graphics can be larger) and most are significantly smaller. The upper limit is determined by what else is present on the iPhone/iTouch. You can load a LOT of books before you run out of space. You can always see the free space available in iTunes when you sync.

You can see where Stanza

You can see where Stanza saves books using: http://www.iphone-explorer.com/

A great resource to check approx. book sizes is Project Gutenberg:
