I imported a few ADE ePubs into Calibre and noticed the file sizes were very large- 2 to 5 MBs. These are not very large books. I opened them in Sigil and looked at the dozen or so images. Nothing large enough to explain the size of the file.

I even ran the Modify ePub plugin (great plugin, BTW!) and selected the Adobe Modification options (the bottom 2). That shaved about 0.1 MB off the file size but they remain the largest files in my library.

I'm curious- what causes these files to be so large? Based on the page count and relative lack of images, I'd expect them to be somewhere in the 300 KB range.
