I was trying to figure out how big my library was to gauge my space remaining on my Kobo (16gb total). I couldn't see a quick/easy way to do that so I just looked at the properties of the folder of my library, but it was 110gb!! My largest book is no more than 30mb and most are under/around 1, and even if all of my books were 15mb it wouldn't even hit a quarter of that (between 1000-1500 books atm). Where's the extra size coming from? It's not an issue on my pc, but how much is being sent to my device, especially given that I make frequent use of the "embed Metadata" option? Is there any way to view the size my library/selected books will be on a device?
