Example: I have a book which I wanna archive. Would sending a zip with the pages take less storage than sending the, let’s say, 10 individual pages sparatedly?

    OP’s choice of the word “heavier” is interesting because you could argue that the information density of a compressed file is greater than that of an uncompressed one.

    Of course that’s abusing the metaphor a bit.

    OP: maybe try larger and smaller next time.
