Bingo! That's why I basically ignore any of the rot that people have been spouting about bandwidth and disk space costs for ebook sales. Even stored in 5 different formats, it's going to be hard to break 1 MB for a typical novel.

And wait until some brain child figures out a "master" format for ebooks, from which any of the other formats (epub, mobi, lit, etc) can be built on the fly and then those costs will shrink even further.
