Average weight of a book in Europe

approaching zero at the and of the 2oth century

The first Gutenberg Bible weighted around 22 KGs. Hardly usable. Given the fact that the typface used was very hard to read by current standards, it amazing that it was the start of a revolution. Current book weight is close to zero after the invention of the pocket. What is the weight of a E-Book title? Research assistant Pia Kolwe.
