gollark: In fact, a lot of the time, the cover image is bigger than the text.
gollark: I'm not a cloud person. It's stored locally (and besides, any cloud thing should probably report filesizes sanely). The thing is that most books are actually less than a megabyte or so, because they generally don't contain many pictures and text compresses really well.
gollark: What?
gollark: I have a few hundred. They mostly don't contain images except for the cover.
gollark: I see. I still think you're probably storing it inefficiently, though.
