Interestingly, the MOBI file is 12mb while the AZW3 is 27mb. Image rez seems the same.
Because, how ePUB formats images and how MOBI does are two very, very different things, and any commercial firm formats images TWICE, not just once. We format images for both KF8 and KF7 devices using media-queries--the same media-queries that you cannot put inside an ePUB, not if it's going to pass ePUBcheck.

This is why most formatting firms do NOT use "one file to rule them all."
