Is there any way to see the file size before purchasing a book?

I know it's no guarantee of the quality of the embedded images of a book, but it's at least usually a reasonable proxy. (i.e., if the file size is within an order of magnitude of Amazon's file, the images are probably going to be of similar quality. If the book is only 1 MB and Amazon's is 15 MB, they're probably crap. As I've found out when trying another vendor.)

However, I don't see the file size on Kobo's site. Is there some way to see it that I"m missing?
