All depends on the size of each book, but on average I'd say some where around 8 to 11.

Hi all, There may be an easier way to calculate but... I downloaded DB-Burnett, Carol-One More Time- A Memoir-DB25096 from USA Bard library and it states that book is 10 hours 31 minutes. I went into properties and book is Size: 110 MB (115,449,182 bytes) My friend has a 1 GB cartridge and he asked me how many books could fit on a cartridge. 1 GB = 1000 MB I used the 110 mb but I needed to round the bytes to 116 to get a good rounded number without truncation. so 1000 divided by 116 = 8.6 So approximately 8 complete books that are 10 hours and 31 minutes long could fit on 1 GB cartridge. Or approximately 84 / 85 hours can fit on a 1 GBB cartridge if downloaded from Bard site. What I did is that I copied the book to cartridge and then renamed it 1 to 9 and copied to cartridge and on the ninth time Windows stated disk is full. At first I divided 1000 by 110 but I need to take the byte size and round up to get an approximation. of this 10.5 hours could fit on a 1 GB cartridge.
