Guardian suddenly 7x larger file

The Guardian/Observer files are usually in the region of 5Mb or so, but for the last two days have been 35Mb, too large to email to my Kindle so I have to USB connect. The readable content doesn't seem to be any larger, images same size etc so cannot understand this, maybe they have changed their server to celebrate their 200th anniversary!

It will almost certainly be higher resolution images, the size to you may appear the same when viewed on a small screen but they will be much marger under the hood.
