I upload Humbles to Google Play Books, not for primary reading but easy accessibility.

I just wish that downloading a 2MB pdf from Google Books wouldn't take 450MB of local storage.

I've also experienced issues with Humbles not uploading properly to Google. It usually takes Humble about four or five weeks to rectify the issue with the PDF.

How does it take up so much space? What if you just download the epubs to your Google Drive?

No idea. It's always the first couple files that seem to grow the data used by the app to it's monstrous size. After four or five PDFs it levels out. Another 2MB will only take a couple MB.
