I agree. As another test I sent the same two books to my PaperWhite 2, which has an even lower resolution screen. The file sizes were identical to those on my Oasis 2.

I have some hacked together Python scripts that can extract the content from different Kindle file types.

For Naruto the images are 1280x1920 with a few pages in color in azw3, azw6, and kfx from Android. The same images are 965x1448 all in B/W in kfx from the kindles.

So the kindles are getting lower resolution images for that manga, but still high quality based on the file sizes.

I doubt that different types of iOS and android devices get different resolution/quality files. As far as I can tell the apps all get the highest quality available, even if running on a phone.

I have version 1.21 of Kindle for PC. The newer versions download azw6 files with higher quality images.

As I mentioned above, for the second one I tested the Oasis received lower resolution than the apps.

It appears to match the worst case size of azw3 + azw6.

I don't understand the question. I am running version 1.21 of K4PC. It has support for KFX. However both of these comics were delivered to it in azw3+azw6 format.
