one thing I've noticed is that epub seems much larger in filesize than any other format (if Sony's format = about 100kb, epub=about 150 per book).
Why can't it be compressed zip (or even rar) as well?

Also, is it true reading from a compressed format takes the reader longer than reading from uncompressed data like txt or .doc or .html?
