Kindlegen gives you the sizes for both portions.

EDIT: Well now that's interesting. I just unpacked both the original & the send-to-Kindled files. The post-Send-to-Kindle file has just a KF8 section according to KindleUnpack v0.65. The size still isn't quite right, but it's at least within 5% of the original KF8 compressed with -c1 instead of with Huffdic.

For grins and giggles, I tried with a different book, one with a custom font. The font both displays on my PW2, and it survived the round trip, which is a pretty good indication to me that it really is KF8.

Methinks Amazon is making some changes to Send-to-Kindle. (Or this is old news and I missed it entirely - but if so it sounds like others in the thread did too!)
