Elsewhere I posted about losing images in a epub-fb2. Since then I downloaded the zip file (5.7M) and converted it to fb2. The images stayed but the fb2 file is a massive 35.2 MB in size, for a 120 page book with illustrations on most pages. (By comparison the epub file was 6.7M)

This compares with a 300 page book with full photographs on every other of its pages and a file size of just 7.9M.

Has something gone wrong in the conversion (the result looks fine) to make it this big???
