the images tends to make the fic size like 16.5.
When the size really like 5.0 or 0.3.
Thank you everyone for helping me. 
I knew there were ways to remove images from ePub. |
There's a better way then removing the images. Try it and let us know what you think.
Here's what I do. In the calibre editor.
I reduce the size of each large image to 1600 lines. You do this by double clicking the image and on the toolbar above the image click the blue box. Change the number of lines to 1600.
Then when that's done, go to Tools > Compress images losslessly, check Enable lossy compression of JPEG images and set the value to 70.
When done, you have smaller images by size and resolution and I don't think you'd notice the difference.
Just going by the cover...
