I created a epub files from a pdf of the size pictures about 6 MB. The exported ePub files (with 72ppi and low quality) is approximately 83MB, too big. How can I reduce the file size without affecting too much on the resolution? Thank you

This isn't a topic for the InDesign forum. It doesn't have anything to do with InDesign. You need to ask in a forum for people who work with EPUB regularly. The last time I checked, this was a good website:

    Why? I make the epub with Indesign

    Because that's not the way to make an EPUB from InDesign. InDesign has the ability to export EPUB directly either for a reflowable or fixed layout EPUB. File > Export > EPUB (Reflowable) or File > Export > EPUB (Fixed Layout).

    However, you need to learn how to do it. The best source I know of is the videos on Lynda.com by Anne-Marie Concepcion. You can get a ten day free trial on Lynda.com.

    Another good source of information is Sandee Cohen & Diane Burns book, Digital Publishing with Adobe InDesign CC:
