Sorry to pile on the posts but I'm now completely confused. BTW, the optimizer didn't work (crashed).
1. Kindle Previewer won't open AZW3 files.
2. When I used Kindlegen to convert the ePub file it got much larger (331MB vs 223MB). Kindlegen yields a .mobi file.
3. How can Calibre output a 30MB mobi file that looks as good in both my desktop and tablet apps (looks good in Kindle previewer as well, accepting the variations in image size on the higher res devices, although they click up to full page width and still look good)?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll take your advice re the mobi file (although it looks fine in all the apps I have), but it's the ePub file that's the problem. I can't see people being happy to download a 300MB file so I'll try the optimizer solution. I forgot to mention that I tried reconverting the AZW3 file to ePub but it was badly non-compliant (although it did drop the size to 10MB).
