Fair enough.

Though I have some books that are very high quality. Professional grade, great-quality images, fantastic typefaces, etc. This is why 136 books take up so much space.

My epub copy of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children alone is 27.6 MiB.

I also have a number of books that I could not find in epub format (or with decent formatting due to textual/pictoral layouts in the books) which I had to opt for PDF with, which unfortunately jacks up the file sizes in those case. For instance, the Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes, containing all "37 short stories and a complete novel from The Strand Magazine ... with all 356 original illustrations by Sidney Paget" and facsimile typefacing and text layout ran up to 167.6 MiB due to all the high-resolution images and HQ formatting (and b/c it's PDF not epub).

These reasons are the main ones why a mere 136 books takes up so much space.
