Looking at my phone (a Samsung) the EGW Writings takes up 8.12 MB. The EGW Writings 2 takes up 1.92 GB. That's megabytes versus gigabytes. I won't even consider putting it on my tablet. Unfortunately it has only half the internal storage of my phone. The new app also works differently than the older one. At least you can read online rather than download. I can only imagine how much more space is needed if you download everything.
