So I want to know: What is the top size for a mobi if it can be uploaded to Amazon?
If you're compiling it with the latest Kindlegen, be aware that a zipped copy of the source files is appended to the end of the file, pretty much doubling the size of the output file. See this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96903

which also has download links for a python script to remove the source files.
