I don't understand the reasons why this would happen (isn't the resolution being reduced?), but would love if someone were to enlighten me.
Or at least suggest a method or form of conversion that doesn't take all the space on my reader on one series.
Thanks in advance.

If you do it from the command line, you might try the "--no-process" flag. I had similar problems b/c calibre's default was to convert jpgs into png (I think ... might be the other way around). The default re-encode parameters resulted in a bigger image.
There's probably a --no-process option in the gui too.
You could probably also tune the re-encode parameters, but I figured less lossy processing = better quality, even if png is a preferable format.
