Personally, 700 pages doesn't seem that daunting.

Same here, I'd take that more as a challenge to my Anki (and general learning) skills. Knowing 700 pages of modern medicine? That'd be awesome! Sure sounds more interesting than 700 pages of accounting law.

The statistics textbook I carry around to read during my downtime, and some bits of which I'm ankifying, is around 500 pages long.

I think a average medicine text book has a higher information density than a statistics textbook.

Agreed.
