Don't know what, if anything, can be done about this. But today for instance (Feb 26) the downloaded New Yorker was 93mb. Way too large for emailing. Even after editing the epub by compressing images to the default (20 and 40) level the resulting file is still 83mb. Still too big.

So I converted the 83mb epub to mobi and the result was a 15mb file. I then the converted that mobi to epub and emailed it. Quite a difference! But at least it emailed ok to kindle and displays as it should.

The New Yorker does occasionally create overly large files. Just wondering if there is some way that the recipe can prevent that. I suppose one can create custom recipes that omit images or whatever. But those custom recipes begin to fail when the base recipe is updated. But in this case even severely compressing the images didn't shrink the file by much, so images may not have been the problem.

It's beyond my novice ability to fix.
