Having cheaper pdf option, more expensive book version and maybe a kickstarter deluxe verson give people of different needs and economic means choices ti fit thier needs. Personally I perfere PDF's when possible (for 4e its isn't), because you can have a whole stack of books on PC, laptop or tablet or smartphone, plus other rpg aids, without carrying a ton of stuff.  Also to note the simplfied basic rules will take very little room. But a couple of rules modules will. As for space each class takes up it depends on how many builds (like domains, bloodlines) the,classes get and how much room they take up. Hopefully they can get two per page. So if say 7 pages of domains for the cleric  then you could have 16 domains.  If each class got say 10 pages for everything, including multiclassing and you have 15 classes that's 150 pages for the class section. Say they have races for every race that's been in a PHB that's and each race gets 2 pages that's twenty pages for the race section. Lets say 400 spells and an average of four spells per page for 100 pages for spells. Lets say 50 pages for backgrounds and 50 for specialties. 30 pages for explaining the basic rules and magic items and a 100 pages for key modules and some prestige classes. That 500 pages, less then pathfinder.</blockquote>
