I have been extremely curious about the very large and very variable size ratio between the KFX size listed by Amazon and the azw3 size for transfer by USB. There have been rumors that it is all down to images, but I don't think so.

Maybe the tablet version has higher resolution.

jhowell, please note the D/L via USB azw3 images are full color.

Check for yourself with kindleunpack

I wish I had waited to get the OTA KFX, since it doesn't seem to be larger, there are a lot more files and Amazon pushed all kinds of crud that it has been waiting for my kindle to come out of airplane mode.

ETA:

I misread jhowell's color image comment, so I guess KFX delivered can be smaller than USB azw3

jhowell: Are the images any different between the kindle for pc azw3 and the azw6?

ETA2: I also downloaded the
FCBD 2017- All-New Guardians Of The Galaxy #1
usb azw3: 5745128 bytes
the OTA azw6 file was 3496758 bytes

The above was all for 7" Oasis
