I know 20MB is nothing but when you have a huge collection like mine it adds up, is here any Calibre plug-in that strips out all this bloat and just leaves you with the cover/blurb/text/Chapters and a bit of formatting to keep it tidy or is hat even possible?
Edit Books is probably your best bet. Remove fonts and also look for jpeg picture files that are unrelated to the book (advertisements for other books in the series or by the author is common).
Good luck!
