Shees sometimes me wonder about publishers. Today received a new book to review. The mail I got from the publisher is 11mb for a mobi, epub & pdf. The pdf's formatting is horrible. But the biggest bugbear I have is with the epub and mobi files, the pdf is about 500kb, the epub and mobi is between 4-6mb. The thing that bug me is that the epub and mobi would have been around the same size as the pdf was it not for the cover image, yes the cover.png is 75% of the ebook's (mobi&epub) size. Just changing it to jpg Tafter importing to calibre) gives you a cover of 400kb, a tenth of the one supplied with the book.
