Jamie - glad it worked.
One reason for the huge filesize may be that Calibre includes the full-size images in your MOBI file, rather than replacing them with smaller resampled ones. This means that although each image appears on your Kindle to be stamp-sized, the original is still there; just click on an image and the Kindle will open up the original (huuuge) version of the image. Which is great if you need to zoom in on the pic, but otherwise, it's a bit of a pain because, of course, you get file bloat.
There may well be some way to get around this, but I've only had my Kindle for a month so I'm still very much a newbie in the world of Calibre. If you need to trim the filesize down, you could always post a "help me!" note to the Calibre subforum. Maybe someone will know the trick!
