These are the results I've come up with:

MOBI output:

PDF output:

I just changed the comic_size parameter to 771x1116 in the profiles.py in the Kindle DX profile section. Maybe the change is going to make it's way into the next version of Calibre.

For some small text it makes an important difference in terms of readability. More importantly, with the new set resolution the maximum of real screen estate in 'actual view' is used, so no resizing on the Kindle takes place - sharpness is improved.

I just wrote Amazon to give the Kindle DX a PDF full screen option independent from the zoom level (so no scroll bars etc would appear). We'll see if it makes it eventually into the firmware.

Right now, it's good enough for me to stay away from the internal picture viewer.
