It is not normal for the average size of a book to be 3 MB. Most of my books average ~350 KB. |
It depends a lot on publisher, and whether I have replaced the crappy low resolution images in the original with higher quality ones.
Publishers like Baen are often less than 0.5MB, as are books that were published as ebooks a long time ago, but most recently published ones (including republished backlist) are 2-3MB, often 5-10MB. It depends mainly on the quality of the cover and other images, and on how many embedded fonts.
A publisher like Subterranean Press uses very high quality images in many of their books, so even their short stories can be 5MB+
Non-fiction can be 100MB+
