Q: iBooks file size question
Hi ..
For the sake of monitoring storage space on a MacBook Air without 85GB's of available space, anyone know about what an iBooks files size might be?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there Carolyn!
It sounds like you are looking to see what sort of file sizes to expect from iBooks. This article seems to answer that question directly:
File sizes
The typical book is about 2 MB. Books that contain enhanced features, such as audio or video, vary in size depending on the content. Enhanced books might take longer to download than a standard book.
The iBooks Store also offers textbooks that might be as large as 1 to 2 GB in file size. You might need a Wi-Fi connection to download them from an iOS device. Download times for textbooks vary depending on your Internet connection.
