If you find that large amounts of space appear after an image and before following text in Epub books in Apple Books, ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) and other readers, it is probably an interaction between various factors:
the images have absolute width and height values (not percentage) that the reader has to limit;
Apple Books optimizations are switched on to work around a bug in Apple Books image sizing by adding a div (box) surrounding each image;
maximum width and height are specified to limit the images using the configuration option Limit images to viewer size.
First check that the configuration option Replace absolute widths is enabled; if not, enable it and compile your book again.
If that doesn't work, check that your images don't have both width and height specified as absolute values (perhaps pixels). You should only specify one of these values, usually width, and preferably as a percentage value. So removing the height specification for each image should fix it.
If that doesn't work, check that your image or caption paragraph styles don't have extraneous after-paragraph or before-paragraph spacing specified.
