Every time someone mentions an interesting book, I make a note of it. Then a couple times a month, I go back through my notes, pop open a website that shall not be named, snag em all, throw them into calibre-web and sync them down to my ereader. I can get hours of enjoyment from a 1-2MB file, and I love that. Same for older cartridge-format game roms, a N64 rom is generally under 50MB and can keep me busy for days, an NES or GB ROM is usually smaller file size than a book, and some great old DOS games clock in at a handful of MB.

What other great bang-for-the-storage-buck stuff is out there that you enjoy?

I love playing Dwar Fortress, I’ve spent hours and hours in there.
The game is free from the developera site, the download is only 15MB.
If you want to support them you can buy it in steam, the listed requirements is 500MB of storage, I assume since this version has a tile set.

I’ve also put so far 400 hours in oxygen not included, I think it uses around 2GB of storage.

And to me, any monster hunter game its worth its price, I’ve bought each game and played it for minimum 200 hours each, I think I reached 500 in on of them.
Tho the newer ones are pretty heavy for their respective platforms. Also triple-A game price.

Dwarf Fortress also has a lower-storage version without optional textures and music.
