I too would be really surprised if it took 2G of free space to
uncompress a BARD book, which generally is around 100M in size. In fact,
I've never had a problem downloading and playing a BARD book to my
iPhone 4S, and I just checked, and I only have 850M of free space. I
suspect there's some fragmentation going on that gets masked when you
free up some additional space.

Now, that is interesting. You mean it takes two gig of space to extract
a book? I just did an experiment. I downloaded a book both onto my
hard drive, and onto my phone, extracting both. The extracted version
on my hard drive was around 106 meg, The extracted version on my phone
took up about the same space, once it was extracted. These books seem
to take up about 10 or 11 meg per hour of reading time. If it takes two
gig of free space to do the extracting, then deletes what it doesn't
need, that is amazing! I never would have guessed that.
I am curious: Was it somebody from your library, or the support staff
at the library of congress who solved it for you, or did you figure it
out yourself? I am glad it works now. Thanks for letting us know the
solution.

The solution was that I didn't have enough space on my iPhone.
Apparently, 2GB is not enough to download all but the smallest
books. So, I dumped a couple videos and , Voila. I had space for
one book. Time for an iPHone 5S.

Guys,
I just downloaded the BARD mobile app and tried to added two
books to my wish list. When I downloaded the first one, I was
told that I failed to extract the file. Are there certain books
that can be downloaded to an IOS device? The system
requirements for both books mentioned needing either a digital
talking book player a computer with a web connection. No
reference at all to IOS. What's the deal?
