      They downloaded the torrents from Annas Archive, which are standing at ~500TB currently. Keep in mind that you’re dealing not only with text, but also with books scanned as images, books with lots of illustrations, scientific articles with illustrations and also comic books.

      Those books couldn’t all be in only plaintext. I’m certain that many of them are also scans.
