Fantastic, thank you for the real world images. (Forgive the overflowing formulas out of the boxes, I just whipped that EPUB together).
I just converted to AZW3 using Calibre as well, and then took it apart using KindleUnpack, and I see that Calibre leaves the images as PNGs.
I always thought KindleGen did PNGs -> GIFs because the old Kindles couldn't support the format... perhaps it is some leftover code from the old MOBI Pocket days?

So I thought as well. I could have sworn that PNG -> GIF is what I read in the Kindle Documentation a long time ago, it was common knowledge that I absorbed from MR, and I knew that there was a KindleGen black background bug with PNG transparency.
I went to go look again at the Kindle Documentation specifically on PNG + changelog to see if that black background bug was fixed.... and then I stumbled across that JPG statement!
I might also want to see now what it does to a PNG that is > 128 KB (or whatever the limit is on images in KF7).

Thank you, more tests are always welcome. And since you are in touch with all those Amazon people all the time, perhaps you can slip them a question about it please.
