I gave kindlegen a run on a random book (322 KB). Without "-c2" it was 708 KB. With "-c2" it was 539 KB.

Increased compression: 23% smaller results. Not bad.

Without:
Info(prcgen):I1039: Final stats - text compressed to (in % of original size): 53.29%

With:
Info(prcgen):I1039: Final stats - text compressed to (in % of original size): 35.44%

I wouldn't be so quick to get all dismissive about trying the compression. All it costs it time, and honestly, not even all that much of it.
