All the images conform to the maximum Kindle size kb.

After I have uploaded them to KPB and downloaded them in firstly mobi they all look small on the page (about 25% width) but in html they all look a reasonable size circa 90% width.
Robalb:

You didn't say which viewer you were using in K Previewer, but see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...density#Amazon . When you set image sizes by pixels, they will display at the pixel density of the device upon which they are viewed. Let's say an image is 500px wide; on a Kindle Fire HD, it's going to look fairly wee, indeed, less than 1.5" wide.

You need to edit your ePUBs or MOBIs so that you are setting image sizes in percentages, not fixed pixel widths/heights. You will need fallback KF7 coding (media queries) for the millions of e-ink devices that are still out there, as they will automatically blow up any image to 100% of the constraining relevant dimension, either height or width, and that can have some very unfortunate results.
