My company had an ePub made for us and I'm editing it in Sigil on Windows Vista. It's an image heavy file, which was 26MB when I started and had about 650 photos in it. I have changed all the photos and deleted several, so I now have about 500 photos, all at the same DPI as the previous photo (150) and all less than 300Kb, totalling less than 15MB. I also changed the text on about 30 of the pages, but now the file size of my ePub is 86MB. Does anyone know what's happened to make it so big?
