Don't know if you can assist me or not. I have downloaded from Fanfiction.net all of my favorites, last month, not now while they are having issues, and I have an issue. When I do the save of the files over to a different directory for backup and copying purposes it saves all of the files just fine, and the size is about 1 GB. When I copy it over to my sd card for my ereader if goes to 4 GB in size. It is not only this as well. I tried copying over the HarryPotterFanfiction.com.7zip file from another site and it does the same thing, on the hard drive it said it was about 5 GB but when I tried to move it to the sd card is said they is not enough space, it says it needs 200GB. What am I doing wrong? I know it is not Calibre causing the issue, but I can not find anything on this at all? When I check properties the size says one size but the size on disk is much more massive on the sd card than on the hard drive.
