sorry but I don't believe you. list the titles please.
I have one of the largest epubs ever published -the complete Game of Thrones 5 volume saga, 4700 pages.
Is is ~10mb in epub 12mb in azw3. 8 of those would be 80mb, not 1,500 mb
but if you do have individual epubs sized at 200+Mb, then I wish you luck converting those to kindle format - you will need it! ( and they could only possibly bloat to that size with embedded hi-def colour images, which will be compressed to monochrome on an e-reader anyway)
I trust you are aware that the the available internal RAM on a typical reader is very limited and could only handle a 200MB book if choppped into hundreds of segments. even then, time to open the epub could be ridiculous.
as to the " I own x hundred thousand books and must load them all" brigade , I will say what I always say.
1 that is what PCs & calibre & cloud storage are for.
2. the kindle ill be unusable for about a week while you load them, index them & recharge the abttery several times in order to complete the indexing.
3. this does not apply to OP as she has the books in epub & will be converting. but if you use kindle & buy the books from amazon you can wi-fi them to kindle, delete them, re-wi-fi them as often as you like, amazon servers track bookmarks, notes etc & handle syncing, so there's no need to have all your books on the reader unless you are travelling to some weird location that has battery re-charge points but no wi-fi.
