The Newton OS uses Unicode instead of ASCII, which results in text
items like books being approxmiately (exactly?) double the size of
their ASCII counterparts.

Paperback is a great, free method of creating and viewing eBooks. Check
it out on UNNA.
Advantage: books are somewhat smaller, you can change fonts and sizes
on the fly. Disadvantage: no rich formatting, annotations, etc.
