2300 characters of uncompressed text per page.
This is not meant to map 1 to 1 to a print book but to be a
close enough measure.
A test book was chosen and the characters were counted
on one page. This number was round to 2240 then 60
characters of markup were added to the total giving
2300.
Uncompressed text length is used because it's easily
accessible in MOBI files (part of the header). Also,
It's faster to work off of the length then to
decompress and parse the actual text.
