Thanks. Here is a logarithmic plot as SVG: https://files.catbox.moe/zbf35r.svg

On a second thought, a logarithmic histogram might convey even more information, but that would require all file sizes to recompute the bin sizes.

Huh, this distribution is not the power law I would have expected. Maybe because it's limited to one media type (books)?

Yeah, and a power law type distribution would be a straight line on a log-log plot, which this is not.
