Because he was curious about the why of the different sizes?

Why is the so little correlation between the length of a book and its file size? I am not talking about books containing lots of pictures here, just formatted text in a regular novel. 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?
