One idea is that, like the city of Enoch being translated, "the world not being able to contain the books" means the works were too great for mankind to associate with.
The world is not ready to hear of those works because the world is not worthy to know, or the world is incapable of understanding such deep doctrine. |

I view it how Ute4ever ...
... spoke above. Clearly the world could physically contain minute writings of every single thing Jesus did. If John was speaking literally, then he was definitely exaggerating. But I do not think he was mainly speaking literally.
