Actually none of the e-book formats compress nicely, as the format specifications already integrate compression:
828K ../Miles_Errant.epub 824K Miles_Errant.epub.zip
844K ../Miles_Errant.lit 780K Miles_Errant.lit.zip
1016K ../Miles_Errant.lrf 992K Miles_Errant.lrf.zip
1,1M ../Miles_Errant.prc 920K Miles_Errant.prc.zip
876K ../Miles_Errant.rb 876K Miles_Errant.rb.zip
Out of the provided formats only rtf and htm do compress significantly.
