A lot depends on how you would access it.

For example, you could store it as text files, compressed into a .zip file, 
along with a SQLite database with the metadata (including section boundaries 
within the files). For large amounts of text, this would be much more 
compact than storing the text in the SQLite database directly.

If you need to do extensive text searching, you may also want to store a 
full-text index, perhaps using Apache Lucene. This will add about 20-30% (of 
the uncompressed text size) to your total size, but greatly speed 
searching.
