The individual files are more valuable if one wants to check a possible error, since one does not need to download the full zip file, just to look at one page. Your images are 20 MB; assuming that this is representative of the collection, all the 40000 books could fit in one disk of 1 TB. The last time that I bought a pocket one, it costed me 90 Euro, so probably PG can afford two to keep the whole collection zipped and unzipped. But a few years ago, when they started to keep page images it costed much more. Carlo
