Some can be very big if they include pictures. (like cookbooks)

However, yes.... if it's just say a fiction book with no pictures, they are kilobytes in size.

Most of my ebooks are large as they are comics. You also have EPUB3 ebooks now, which can contain images and audio in them too (think combined ebook + audiobook). So they can get pretty large.
