So, "Tablet" sounds better than the "Kindle DX" page layout for use with the 9.7in devices.
The DX and the 902/903 have the same screen.

I just tried the "Tablet" setting and it's not too bad. It made the file a little larger of course. It made the pages too narrow and long to be able to read a full page at a time also. So, zoom and scroll is a must. I'm not a big fan of that though. I like to read one full page at a time. Seems more natural, comic book like to me. To each their own. I haven't run into any text issues yet so maybe I'll have to adapt and get used to the zoom and scroll method when I do. Comics do look pretty nice when in landscape mode though.

"CBR" - 11MB
"DX" output format - 19MB
"Tablet" output format - 30MB
