The Internet in books

How about printing all websites on the internet and their articles in books?

The analog internet

This is a relatively difficult question to answer. It is impossible to say exactly how many pages and articles there are on the internet. However, we do know that there are around 1 billion websites. We're leaving out videos and stuff like that because you can't get that kind of thing in books without tens or hundreds of thousands of pages per video. So, for the pages on websites, big magazines and well-known companies probably have hundreds or thousands of pages. On the other hand, there are even more personal sites from freelancers, simple product pages, or even the website of your local dentist with 3-4 pages. Somewhere in the middle, the average comes out at around 20-50 pages. Which amounts to about 50-100 billion pages, give or take a few. Now, you don't know how much is on each page, but you can estimate that too. Some pages have hundreds of words, others are very short. If you copy everything in "small print" but still legible, in a large book like encyclopedia that would also be somewhat larger than the average book(double) you fit a lot of words. In some ways you would land at 1,000-1,300 words in super fine print per page.

That comes to around 20-30 KB per page with images on avg., which means an average of 5-15 MB per book, including images. To know how many books we need, we need to know how much everything written, including images on the internet, takes up. The largest part is certainly videos and other audio and streaming files. Since, the average word on the internet takes up hardly more than 2-4 bytes.
Of course, we can only estimate what the internal size would be without videos. The figure we have quoted is completely inaccurate, entirely made up and a rough estimate. If we take websites without videos, The following is calculated here: around 2-16 MB per page or 400-800 MB per Website on avg. Now, that's about 50-100 billion pages in the Internet, which is 800 billion megabytes or 800 petabytes. Divided the total storage by 10 MB per book, that's 80 million very large encyclopedias. So the answer is "80 million books for the internet in books without videos and audio files" in total. Well, this answer is neither reliable nor should it be taken as a benchmark. It is a rough and most likely incorrect estimate of this approach. "For entertainment and presentation purposes only". However, it must be said that even if our estimates are only half wrong, the result could be completely different. Therefore, it can be said that in this case, somewhere between 80 and 240 million books could be printed , but it could be even higher.
