A few examples:
Make Room! Make Room! = Kobo ePUB = 6.3MB
Steve Jobs = Kobo ePUB = 21.0MB
Shogun = Kobo ePUB = 10.1MB
Under the Dome = Kobo ePUB = 9.2MB
The Next 100 Years = Kobo ePUB = 8.6MB
Incognito = Kobo ePUB = 8.6MB
My Secret History = Kobo ePUB = 7.5MB
When sorting by size, 43 of 73 pages (with 6 books each) show titles >2.0MB.
Only the first 5 of 73 pages with books contain travel companions, comics and other files in the range of 100MB. Those enormous files I'm not downloading on readers anyway (color).
The other 68 pages are "normal" literature, business, entertainment and so on.
Obviously those 3MB to 10MB books kill my storage. No idea, why they are so huge. All original purchases from Kobo. And I guess it will be similar for B&N and Amazon...
These file sizes seem a little over the top for straight epubs and for most other formats. For instance, Under the Dome as an epub is 973 kb. I wonder what is taking up the rest of the space?
