Help regarding Reducing size of books

I have a lot of books to share but their sizes are more than 14 MB, Can anyone guide me on how to reduce the size so that I can share them on the forum as well as do so even in an area with poor network

You can try to compress the files in rar format using winrar software.

Alternatively, you can zip a big size book and then use small size open source software like FFSJ to split main file in smaller parts and then upload it. The catch here is that user needs to use FFSJ to join the splitted files back into main file.

Second approach is bit time taking but you can give it a try.

Hope this helps.

What format are your books in at the moment?

Please explore "User Group" at the top right of every CM page and you'll likely find that the "Prime" Group has unlimited upload.
Then, at the top of several sticky threads, you'll probably find the donation route to Prime.
However, if you choose to use PayPal, you might enter your PayPal password to then learn:

We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem.

Good luck.

all the books I have are in epub or mobi format, however they are very richly encoded and hence file sizes are between 54 mb and 140 mb
