  • Irrigation
gollark: You can use kiwix for it.
gollark: The 15GB figure is for without images. With images (probably downscaled) my copy is 80GB.
gollark: Wikipedia fits into 15GB (minus user pages etc) and it uses horrible inefficient XML.
gollark: If you drop the images and HTML formatting and whatever else most ebooks contain, and do compression better than ZIP does, you could probably reach some *ridiculous* compression ratios.
gollark: An average ebook is something like 1MB and that's for 100000 words + cover image.
