The text of an ebook contributes very little to the overall file size. Because, under the hood, an EPUB3 file is a glorified web page, there's little you can do to make a text-based ebook smaller. However, size grows with two things. First, the cover—which ought to be large enough to display nicely on various-sized displays—requires minimum dimensions that promote larger file sizes. Amazon ebook covers should be 2, pixels tall by 1, pixels wide, although Amazon will accept them as small as 1,pixels-bypixels.
Aim for a file that's dots per inch or pixels per inch; Amazon doesn't require it, but it's precise enough to look good if it's printed. Amazon imposes a reimbursement penalty if the file size of the cover image exceeds 2 MB. The other consideration relates to images inside the book, in line with the text.
Every image consumes some extra file size. Optimizing those images by making them grayscale or converting them to line art helps.
There's little cause for a high-resolution interior image unless you're creating an art book—and art books aren't an optimal choice for ebook conversion. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

Coriolanus released the fistful of cabbage into the pot of boiling water and swore that one day it would never pass his lips again.
But this was not that day. He needed to eat a large bowl of the anemic stuff, and drink every drop of broth, to prevent his stomach from growling during the reaping ceremony.
That at eighteen, the heir to the once-great house of Snow had nothing to live on but his wits. His shirt for the reaping was worrying him. He had an acceptable pair of dark dress pants bought on the black market last year, but the shirt was what people looked at. Fortunately, the Academy provided the uniforms it required for daily use.
Tigris had said to trust her, and he did. Too damaged to sell in even the worst of times, and this was to be his reaping shirt? This morning he had gone to her room at daybreak, only to find both his cousin and the shirt missing. For example, a single high-resolution image size can be around 3.
For your book cover, Amazon recommends a file size of 40 MB or less. That said, the MB maximum file size applies to your book cover too. Either way, take care when choosing your cover image. Kindle cannot convert e-book files larger than MB. If your book is over MB, Kindle advises reducing your audio and video content, if applicable.
You could also consider publishing your book as a series. The KDP process optimizes your content, so even a long book will download quickly. Amazon does not set a lower limit when it comes to book length. A short book can satisfy readers as effectively as a long one. In fact, many readers love Kindle Short Reads, which take as little as fifteen minutes to enjoy. That said, a recommended minimum is 2, words. More on that in a bit!

They often have some illustrations, but as children get older, these become less central to telling the story. Middle schoolers have far longer attention spans and stronger reading skills. They can typically handle up to 12, words or so. A fiction book for this age group might not have any pictures at all, although a nonfiction book might have fewer words and more illustrations. By the time children reach adolescence, they are ready for longer books. A young adult novel might run 35, to 50, words long—around the size of an adult novella.
Nonfiction books are typically shorter than fiction books, averaging 50, to 75, words. They read nonfiction books for the information and ideas they contain. As long as the facts and concepts are clear, a short book could be as good as a longer one. Novels are different. Book lovers read fiction to immerse themselves in a narrative—or even a new world.
Unless the book is advertised as a novella, an eager book reader might be disappointed if it turns out to be shorter than expected.
