I've looked through the settings and no luck. I understand megabytes may make more sense for .pdfs and bigger files, but when I have a collection of txt files it's irritating not being able to distinguish between 0.0 and 0.1 - in terms of reading time, there's quite a difference between a file that weighs in at 20kb and one that's just under 100! Anything? I'm running the latest version on Windows 7.
Thanks.
The size in the main Library window is the size of biggest format for that title.

If you visit the title in the Meta-data editor, You get to see the sizes of the individual formats for that book (and at a finer resolution. Still in MB, but 0.020MB). Hover over the format and you get to see the last modified date for the file.

BTW
