It's just occurred to me I was thinking of 520s, not 505s, haha. But I
draw the line at about 1600 characters. That's not near the functional
limit but it starts being a wall of text at that point, and especially
with Kanopy records, when the summaries are that long it tends to be
fluff (movie review blurbs and stuff). 505 might be a bit of a different
animal, since unless it's "Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3" it is usually
actually useful information, albeit maybe someone copied and pasted
something with too much depth (individual section titles or something).
Probably I would try to keep a 505 under 2000?
