I know 20MB is nothing but when you have a huge collection like mine it adds up, is there 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 that even possible?
I just reconvert ebook files in Calibre. Most of the time the new copy of the same file usually an epub or mobi shrinks considerably.
