You can easily send what appears to be unlimited amounts of text to the gear.
I keep quite a bit of reading material on my Gear, news articles and Wikipedia articles.
Here's how to do it.....
Download an app onto your phone from the Play store called Notification Notes.
On your phone, in the Gear Manager, click on notifications, then click on more notifications at the bottom of the list. Then put a tick next to Notification Notes so that the app can send notifications to your Gear.
Now find some text that you'd like to send and store on your Gear. I found that the BBC News app and the Wikipedia app are good sources because you can easily select all text and copy. (With the BBC News app I can select text on the first article but if I wipe to the next article I can't select text. I have to return back to the News menu and select the news article directly, that way and it allows me to select and copy text from every article.)
Open Notification Notes
Paste the text into the Title field
Put a single space character or any other character in the Comment field
Click on Create Note
Now short press the power button on your phone to switch the screen off.
(You need to do this because the notification will not go to the Gear if the phone thinks you've seen it on your phone.)
You can repeat many times and the Gear appears to cope well with full news and Wikipedia articles.
You must paste text into the Title field because the Gear will only display a very small amount of text in Comment field. Also the comment field must not be left empty because if it is then the Title field is limited. But if there is something in the Comment field the Title field appears to be unlimited.
Reading text on the Gear is OK. Make sure you select "Small Font" in the Gear's settings. Also you can scroll the text with your finger on the very edge of the screen. You can swipe left and right to flick to the next article that you sent.
