Hi This topic sparked my interest & curiosity. When going to settings, general, iPhone. The Bard Mobile app takes up 5.5MB. The Documents & Data in the app uses 4.96GB. This makes sense, being I have 46 books downloaded & the average length of each book is 8-12 hours. Not sure why your numbers are much lower. 🤔🤔🤔
