Hi,

When I convert a mobi/azw file to epub, I have noticed that the final epub file size is always a lot larger than the original mobi/azw. Normally, the original file is less than 500kb, but the converted epub comes to over 2000kb.

I do add the metadata as a separate page into the epub and was wondering if that is what is causing the file increase? Or do I need to change something in my conversion settings?

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Tks!
