1GB memory min. That's heavy :/

FWIW, that seems to be a "here's what your VM should be" statement, not a "here's what the app consumes".

It does get much heavier (recommended 2 GB) if you enable full-text search with Elasticsearch. The metadata-search only capability was added to get the memory requirements lower.

An epub file is basically a web page; HTML/CSS rendering ain't cheap.
I love that we've come far enough that we need 1GB to process the most basic HTML/CSS.
He integrated an Elasticsearch , that's probably why.
It is WAY less than 1GB to process.
