From what I've seen on the newton, I still don't understand why the
Newton does not compute the size itself depending on the font size &
layout. It seems that the format the books are in the Newton is such
that blocks of data can be shared between pages.
OK, next time I'll watch OS X installing (I think I'll reinitialize
the disk this time) or during boring second semester lectures if any,
I'll look into how to do such a hack and I'll try to document the
book format.
