Thanks, Kevin. The correct HD images were indeed unpacked.

Is there some advantage to running an unpacked mobi through kindlegen again (if I still have all the original source files)? I used to do this a few years ago in the only-mobi7 days in order to simplify the html that kindlegen spat out, but there doesn't seem to be an effective way to do this nowadays (to edit the html directly and have it affect only the mobi7 portion—and I'm not talking about media queries).

Essentially, nowadays I run KindleUnpack only to see exactly what will be delivered to Kindle users.
