There is an average of 5.1 chars per word in English, and usually about 
350 words an A4 page.

The 215K file is
a) Compressed - typically by 60%
b) Contains simple html and images as its source.
c) Must contain the cover image.

As a *very* rough guess, that means the files expands to 344K.

Remove the cover image at 250-300kb  leaves  44 to 94KB

That is 8700 words to 18400 words   or approx 25 to 50 pages.

But that is *very* *very* rough.
