The maximum download size of an eBook is 950 KBytes (Alice in Wonderland is 160
KBytes, about 180 pages), so you can download about 6 books of this size to
read on your GBA at one time. You can, of course, divide any eBook into
multiple files, each less than 950 KBytes.
Formats supported are text, HTML, jpg images, wav sounds, and multiboot files.

There are 4 acquisition channels available. These can be simply configured as
logic (switch) inputs or as 12 bit or 7 bit ADCs. Display can be as
digits or as a graph, like an oscilloscope. The combination of 4 channel
instrument and browser makes it a versatile diagnostic tool.
Sound & Music
90 seconds of mono sound / music (18157 Hz wav file) can be stored in the
950 KBytes of memory in CaptiGate.
