If there are embedded fonts, in Calibre, you can do a font subset to reduce the size of the fonts and remove any unused fonts.
Once you have the eBook as small as possible and it's still too large, then solution from there is to just deal with it as is.

Man, those are all going to be tough. He has 58 images that total 132mb--you have to assume that 99% of the size is in those images--which means, on average, each image totes ~2.3mb per.
To make 10mb--total, for 58 images, that means
he has to get them down to an average of 172.5KB. KILOBYTES, not MB.
The degradation
will be real. We just took a run at a job like this, and I had to tell the customer that the quality he wanted could not be done, not for under 100kb per. It just couldn't.
Let's see, 10mb. Is that NetGalley?
