I might be dumb but how many books would 64gbs mean
I'd say roughly 1,000 to 100,000, depending on format.
Edit: Raw ASCII (7-bit) could give you up to ~half a million.
Edit 2: According to Randall Munroe (to lazy to find the source), you could theoretically store one ~~word~~ letter per bit. That would give us up to ~~ten~~ two million books.
I don't see how that is possible, I think it is be one letter per byte.
Bit only represents one state 1 or 0, or true or false. It is too little information to store a letter.
Here ya go:

Smart compression!
That's bit, a letter or character is a byte (8 bits), this is about right for pure text files that have no overhead, any extra info (like font, size, type, anything except which chatacter...) Is extra bytes, of course.
If we’re only talking 26 letters no caps, we can cut that down to 5 bits. Then use a decent compression algorithm. Someone more bored than I am can do the math.
five bits would only leaves us with six punctuation marks (including spaces, and we don't get any numerals either) though, do you think that's enough? i certainly don't; i have not even used a full stop and I have already exceeded it!
