I have bought The World of Ice and Fire as an AZW3 file from Amazon. It is a large book, 21.5 MB, with many beautiful pictures in color.

I converted it to epub because I wanted to read it using Marvin on my iPad.

I was somewhat surprised to discover that the resulting epub file was only 6.94 MB. The content seemed ok, but in the AZW3 file you can use the spread and pinch gestures to change the size of the pictures. That is not possible in the epub file, and that is maybe the reason for the changed size?

Well I can read the AZW3 file on the Kindle app, so it is not the end of the world.
