But I do want the images compressed! They total 19.1 MB in the file which makes it very laggy even viewing it on the computer let alone my Kobo.

What I am trying to figure out is how to set things up so I get roughly the same size output file as I used to in 3.48 (certainly no more than 5 MB). I really don't want to have to copy to an old computer to carry out the compression then port back to the main computer.

I did wonder if it was something in the Epub 3 output that causing it (I've had previous experience with a print layout Epub 3 file where every letter had it's own css).

@Kovid, was there a reason why the new conversion doesn't compress images automatically? It's rather annoying to have to run books through multiple processes before they get transferred to one's device.
