Neither of which have a single thing to do with KindkeUnpack. If the Kindlebooks were created from single, monolithic (x)html files with inline styles (or were old-style mobis), that's the output KindleUnpack produces. If the kindlebook was created with an epub that contained logically separate (x)html files with pretty and efficient css, then that's the output KindleUnpack generates.
Being primarily a tool used to reproduce (as closely as possible) the original source used to create the kindlebook (for study or for tweaking), it is doing exactly as it was designed to do.
I have no problem if that doesn't align with someone's needs. Different strokes for different folks. But please don't assume (or unintentionally spread the misinformation) that KindleUnpack is somehow responsible for the ugliness inherent to many kindlebooks that it reveals.
Although many people use it as a conversion tool (and are free to do so), it's a mistake to think that KindleUnpack was
created as a hands-off conversion tool. It's an unpacker, just like the name implies.
