Database for a library

Hello,

I'm building a web application for a library but I faced a problem

NTICE: This web app includes a feature that you can read the books online


I have to save the books either in the database (mysql for sure) or on the
hard disks

but I preferred DB choice because of many befits (search, speed, time and
many others)

The problem is how to save the book, till now I have three choices:
1- save the whole book in one record of type long text (downside is the
bandwidth ,,, it requires a lot of bandwidth to transfer the whole book to
the user)
2- save each chapter of each book in a record
3- save each page of each book in one record (the downside is the huge
amount of records but the benefits are saving bandwidth and easier
pagination)


I prefer the third choice but is mysql capable of handling this huge amount
of records (it maybe be millions because I have over 10,000 book)


thanks in advanced
