5. convert the epub to mobi with calibre.
That's what I call a great tip! Thanks!
I didn't use IrfanView but FastStone Viewer. The size of one of my epub files went from 18mb down to 5mb (almost a 400% decrease)!

This is the best method by far, because you can totally control the final image parameters.

Thanks a lot
