Overly large/badly compressed covers/images.
A "phantom cover"
- I have come across a few purchased books where there is a useless second cover inside of the book, which isn't referenced or anything, just takes up space.
When the EPUB was packaged, they didn't compress it, or didn't compress to the maximum level (this one just baffles me).
- I have come across a few purchased books which had zero compression on them.
Bad code/formatting could bloat the EPUB (oh the horrors I have seen).
Fonts that are not subsetted
Fonts that aren't used/referenced
- For example, including a bold font when no bold is used, or a smallcaps font when no smallcaps are used.
