I just learned that I can take screenshots from the Voyage by just simultaneously tapping opposite corners. For those that are curious, I have attached some screenshots of sample pages from a kcc converted manga.
  • kcc normal: no options checked, so image is not resized and borders added. Upscaling is performed by the kindle itself.
  • kcc upscale: upscaled option checked so upscaling performed by kcc.
  • original: the original images

As you can see in the 'kcc normal' images, the kindle viewer automatically crops out the margins added by kcc, thought it doesn't do as good of a job as kcc with the upscale option. I don't see an option to disable the kindle's automatic margin cropping so images can be seen at their native resolution, but I suppose I can change the margin color to black to trick it.

Just curious, but what jpeg quality setting does KCC use? When I use an image editor, my output is usually larger unless I bring the jpeg quality level to 80. I do notice that the output is heavily higher contrast than the original (gamma is at auto) so that may be one reason for the smaller file sizes (at the expense of some fine details).
