I'm using the default font in a smaller size, and the only image is the cover, so why is the epub file so much longer than the other formats? Is it because it's digital? Is there a way to make it a more reasonable length without cutting any of the story?

Pages only COUNTS if everyone uses the exact same screen size and settings.
Word counts If you must (again, requires we all use the same algorithm to be meaningful)
Work in
Layout Proportions
and NEVER inches or cm, those are for Absolutely Fixed layouts only .
I set the Body font size to 1em (1 em is relative to the devices default size)
Now the Chapter head is set to 1.5em (150% of the body)
subtitle 1.25em
InitialLetter: 2 or 3em
File size differences is due to encoding and Included Images and fonts. NOT your prose
