I don't know if there is a problem at all by the openingsbook
But still I have 1 question is the original Tiger openingsbook to big for a
handheld?

And you must not look if it can be  draw out of an openingsbook
You have to use the openingsbook to win!

In a human point of vieuw you have to look at this at openingsbooks
espacialy from the White side because of the extra tempo
If a position after the opening ends with = the opening is a failure.
While from the Black side if after the opening the position is = the opening is
a sucses everything it has more is good and should have a higher valeu of
contempt it most of the time also contributes why certain moves should not be
played by one side
As long if only the 100% line is folowed (though this is not always the case
after folowing for example the deepfritz book
Judit Polgar tried to win her advanced chess match in this way too.)
Folowing the 50% line then is nonsens.
