      Most of my ebooks are large as they are comics. You also have EPUB3 ebooks now, which can contain images and audio in them too (think combined ebook + audiobook). So they can get pretty large.

      Some can be very big if they include pictures. (like cookbooks)

      However, yes… if it’s just say a fiction book with no pictures, they are kilobytes in size.
