I used Calibre to convert a compliant ePub to mobi. The resulting file works fine in Kindle Previewer and various Kindle apps (tablet and desktop). The file is approximately 30MB, the original ePub (generated by InDesign CS6) is 300MB. Knowing that the .mobi images have been compressed to meet Kindle requirements, can I use the files from an AZW3 conversion of the .mobi file to replace ePub images? Or run the packaged ID image book folder through Bridge to resize and then replace the renamed image files in the Calibre ePub file? Or, finally, is there a better method of compressing the ePub without going back into the ID book file and redoing every image?
