Hello,

I received two ePUB files with different page numbers:
898 p. = 723 KB / 378 p. = 5430 KB [5.43 MB] ...
how can I reduce the size of the second one?

I tried with Calibre ... without success.

A software or even better ... online ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE.

Sergio

    Hello,

    5.4 MB is quite a lot for an epub.
    One explanation: There are illustrations and not just text.
    Check the content of the book.

    It should also be noted that the epub format is a compressed format. One shouldn’t expect to significantly reduce its size.
