They don't have images, other than the cover page. They appear to have around the same number of pages of simple text as any novel.

It is very consistent that the library epubs average a good 3 - 4 times the size of my Calibre created epubs. Anyone have a clue why this would be?

sloppy coding (or conversion)? Thousands of div's, spans that are not simple/clean

You, just do good work ?
