Thank you dwanthny! What a world of difference.
I don't think I would have thought of a like-to-like conversion to solve the problem
I find it convenient to use the command-line, so I did this. The
ebook-convert command is part of calibre. INPUT.epub and OUTPUT.epub stand for the long original name and my selected output name. Option
--no-default-epub-cover avoids adding the picture of a book on the front (I wish this were the default). The result was barely more than a third the original size and works great.
Code:
ebook-convert INPUT.epub OUTPUT.epub --no-default-epub-cover
The command spews out diagnostics and it's progress to the terminal as it goes. There were twelve of these errors. Maybe this was the problem.
Code:
CSS import of missing file u'OEBPS/Common_Content/css/common.css'
CSSImportRule: While processing imported style sheet href=u'common.css': IOError('Cannot read Stylesheet.',)

Thanks again. I hadn't found that yet.
This seems more bothersome than it could be. I press the OPTIONS button, then
Go to, then
Table of Contents, then the name of the book (what else?), then finally several layers of TOC.
Anyway, my initial delight in finding online documentation in epub format is restored.
