EDIT: Just took a quick look at the size of the downloaded Adobe DRM file prior to deDRM, i.e. as it sits in my Digital Editions folder ... and there's a fair file-size difference!

Adobe DRM epub = 2,028 KB
Kobo SDRM epub = 3,435 KB
That seems like way too much to be just watermarks. Maybe different image resolutions/compression algorithms being used?

I'd be happy to contribute to the research effort if we could find a target book that wasn't Rowling...
