I've also seen books where breaks within a chapter were done with a .jpg like this one:
And instead of using the same image over and over, the publisher inserted the image once for each instance it was used. So .jpg003, .jpg004 and .jpg005 would all be the same image. That sort of stuff really causes file size to increase. |
Besides this, if any of the eBooks are from Penguin, there will be embedded fonts for one section that you do not need. You do not need that html file and you do not need those fonts. It's an advert for signing up to Penguin's email. The thing to do is use Calibre's eBook editor to see what it is in these eBooks that are making them so large.
@Thagor, can you please give us some of the titles/authors of these large eBooks? Thanks.
