I agree that the file size is too big for me.  I love the idea but the
implementation might work better if it was several interlinked
documents.  One thing that comes to mind is updating information.  A
huge monolithic file will require a 30+ MB download each time one of the
docoments is updated. 

The other is chewing up 30MB of memory to view a document will drive a
lot of older smaller machines into swap making it really slow to move
through.
