There maybe another way.  I maybe completely off base so set me straight 
if I am.  Why not index the size so you know exactly how much to 
allocate on the first pass?  We could create an index that would tell 
where in the file a chapter was located and the size of the chapter.  
One index for each text.  I do not know if you currently have index 
files at the moment.  I have a Bible indexing schema that will point to 
the beginning of each chapter and give the size.  All that is needed to 
find a chapter is a book number and chapter number.  My files had each 
chapter compressed which in a memory tight device is important.  Food 
for thought.
