About 8 months ago I discovered that doing EPUB to EPUB conversions would substantially reduce the size of many (not all) ebooks. I'm talking 50% to 90% size reduction. For example, a 10 MB ebook reduced to 980 KB.

In the last month or two (maybe starting around version 6.14?) this size reduction no longer happens.

Did something change in the defaults for this conversion? As far as I know, I never changed anything in the settings, although it is certainly possible.

Suggestions for what I may have done to cause the reduction or loss thereof?
