Wodehouse shows up as 136KB in epub while the mobi version shows up at 552KB.

The minimalist design of the Gutenberg website makes it quite friendly to the web browser on any of the eInk devices I've used to access the site and there is no option to email directly to any device. I will admit my preferred method is to download the ebooks, import them to calibre, clean up, add metadata, etc. and then send to my ereader.
