book.epub 0.5 Mb
Opening the books in Calibre with E-book Viewer shows no differences. All looks exactly the same: same pictures, same text, same page count etcetera.

Is there anyone who can explain why same books can have different file sizes (as you see sometimes more than doubled!)

And is there a way to compare epub formatted books with each other? So I can check for missing parts (if any)?

Thanks in advance!
Same Pictures, but maybe different resolution? some viewers scale any input to fit the screen.

Do a Tweak epub on each version, paying attention to the file sizes of the various component pieces (Cancel when done, you don't need to save)
