I doubted that the ePub would get down to 10MB in size. That my I said to deal.

One other thing I thought of that would help some. If the images are grayscale but using a 24-bit palette, setting to grayscale will reduce a the size a little.
Fonts? Jon, dear, I think you're dreaming. Nobody said anything about fonts like in memes. I suspect that these are regular old images.

As I said, I had a similar inquiry a few months back, and I had to turn it down. Oh, sure, I could have taken it, been paid, and then listened to him gripe when he saw them, but geeeze, who wins that? That's a bad idea, so...I declined. if someone else took it, god love a duck, but you can't take images from 3-5mb and reduce them to 90-150kb and expect lossless perfection. Ya just can't.
