i had used my usual workflow-
1)epub to epub in calibre to apply my standard preferences ( like strip out font families... set widows & orphans.. via extra CSS) , and to create an original_epub backup in case of disaster at step 2
2) a manual edit in sigil to fine tune it e.g. remove unwanted front and back of book stuff, for simple personal reading, remove dropcaps... - that's is where it somehow went miniscule
ok - it is just possible that step 1 did the damage ( as the "shrinkage" only showed up when rendered in moon+ - it looked fine in Sigil book view throughout ) but it's never gone wrong like that for me before

the question is probably better asked in reverse, if you wanted to shrink ALL of an epub to postage stamp size, when tweaks would you apply ?
