f you project is over 600 MB in size, we suggest looking toward DVD, as storage varies from about four and a half gigabytes to just under 18 GB - regardless of file type. If the book contains strong video components, DVD also lends itself well as it can be configured to be played on a home entertainment system rather than a computer. Some large book projects may be better suited to USB or memory cards - depending on your audience.

Online book content (offered as promotion) can be offered for a limited time (then "removed") - but beware totally deleting information from online is not as easy as it sounds.
