How many pages is that? The amazon page conveniently left that off.
There is an average of 5.1 chars per word in English, and usually about
350 words an A4 page.
The 215K file is
a) Compressed - typically by 60%
b) Contains simple html and images as its source.
c) Must contain the cover image.
As a *very* rough guess, that means the files expands to 344K.
Remove the cover image at 250-300kb leaves 44 to 94KB
That is 8700 words to 18400 words or approx 25 to 50 pages.
But that is *very* *very* rough.
The file is about 500 'locations'. The Kindle Users Guide, 3rd Ed., has
1300, Lao Tza, the Art of War, (project Gutenberg), aaabut 2100. I read
about half in an hour. Even knowing the material, it is slower than a novel.
