One book of average length might weigh in at 400kB, while another, of similar length and also having no images in there, might be 2,5 MB.
What is it that bloats these file sizes so?

I'm not sure, because I don't edit epubs, but I would say probably bad formatting? I would think that if the styles are declared for every page instead of just once for the whole book it would cause bloating. There could also be embedded fonts in the book.
I'm sure someone who DOES edit epubs will come along soon and either confirm what I said or ridicule me for not knowing what I'm talking about
