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?

    It’s an interesting question though because I guess if the files being zipped are already nearly or maximally compressed then I’d assume that the zip of all those files actually was in some extremely tiny negligible way, actually slightly larger than those files on their own.
