Maybe it's just me, but that's completely unacceptable. An average book is 400KB. Turning that into 2.5MB... no way.

I've seen the thread, and I agree, it's an amazing feature. It's just one more reason to switch to epub completely when we get editor support for it (on which I'll probably work on myself).
