Ok, I have an epub book, opened with Sigil in front of me. the book is 2,4 MB big. it has 10 pics in it (thumbnail size or a bit bigger, +- 15 KB each), the cover is 40 KB. There are about 800 pages. no video, audio or misc attachments.

Normally a book this size would be around 700 KB. But it's almost 4 times as big. Does anyone know what causes this? Or how I can shrink them :-)

thanks, Ripper
