Cancer Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Re: "Neat" Pictures Yeah, I'd go for drop-down doors held open by exploding bolts, and another set of charges to ram them into place faster than gravity alone can do.

Ternaugh Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Re: "Neat" Pictures Wow, this library design is amazing It doesn't look very useful. I can't see an easy way to get to some of the books, nor can I see the typical book cart navigating those decks. And what's with the stadium concourse to the left? It looks like a library designed by someone who doesn't frequent them. JoeG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Re: "Neat" Pictures I wonder how many Kindles it would take to store all of that. This is supposed to be the Stockholm Library. They apparently have about 2 million books. Let's assume that the average e-book is 500kb. Some will be more, many will be less. This is about 120 GB. That means it would take approximately 40 Kindle 3s, as they cap out at 3GB of useable storage and have no external storage. You could do it with 20 Kindle Fire's, since they have 6GB each. I believe the first Kindle actually had a full sized SD card slot... assuming it was supported, you could do it with a lone Kindle 1 using a nice big 128 GB SD card. Of course, if we open the floor up to other readers and tablets, we can find many devices that could pull this off And with cloud storage you could certainly grow that list to include virtually any internet connected device...

austenandrews Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Re: "Neat" Pictures How are Kindles for photo storage and display? Presumably books with lots of photos would take considerably more storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
