Ok I like getting then reading free e books but a LOT of times they never say how many pages I will be printing out so that brings up this question; any one good at math I am not ?

Here goes; a standard page is 8.5 x 11 and is 64 lines LONG and 74 characters long ( spaces and letter ) with normal margins; how many pages would 1 mb be and then how many pages would 1 kb ?

Some e books list sizes as say hum 50 mb but other e books say 10 kb; but what is the FORMULA for figuring out how many pages of paper the e book size is ?

Any math geeks out their ?     Thanks : )     .
It sounds like you want to know how many pages are in a megabyte.
You can do the calculation yourself by estimating that each line is about 72 bytes. Of course, this is only for plain text with no special formatting. A text editor such as Notepad will not insert any formatting characters, except to the carriage return and line. But if you use a program such as WordPad, more SPACE is required to include the formatting instructions for such things as font size, font type and margins, spacing and possibly embedded images.
A common practice is to store well formatted pages in a file type called PDF. Expect the PDF file to be quite a bit larger than a standard text file used by Notepad. An easy way to make your calculations is to just type or copy some material in a program like that WordPad, formatted, and then save it to your hard drive. That would give you an idea of how to estimate the number of lights per page for a WordPad, rich text document. Some word processors also allow you to save the in the PDF format. Save one page of the Rich text format as a PDF file and that will give you a way to estimate how much overhead. There is with the conversion.
If you need a RULE of thumb, you can estimate that a single page of a text file using a normal font size will probably result in about four or 500 bytes per page. But what will happen is the operating system like for you is more space on the hard drive to store a single page. For better accuracy. You have to try something like about 20 pages or so to come up with a more realistic approximation.
Does this help me?I think its very confusing what you posted so will wait on other postings .OK here's another posting. Geek is right. For plain text it would be relatively easy to work out how many pages a given size text file would require. For MS Word, PDF, RTF, and the various e-book formats, not so easy. There is no "formula". If an e-book is already formatted into pages, you can simply open it and navigate to the last page and note its number. If it was a plain text file, load it into a word processor and do a page count. Alternatively, do some experiments.
