A few examples:

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...
I've just checked on my Nook GlowLight.
I can't see the file sizes.
But only 244 of my books show, the rest (travel companions, comics = color) obviously is "tablet only".
Those 244 books take 0.95GB, so on average about 4MB per book.
All original purchases, no side loaded content.
