In one instance, you allowed the image to render to its full size (assuming that there wasn't any cascading CSS that would restrict it) and in the other, you restrained it to 200px wide, which is TINY in 99% of the newer Kindles.
That's all. No black magic.

Thanks Hitch. There is no cascading CSS in my ebooks. (And for clarification's sake, the "tiny" images display in my 6" Kindle Touch as .625" by 1". screenshot 34) All my back matter images (except for my author photo, which is 325px by 244px) are 200px by 300 px. 200 pixels is 2.08" and 300 pixels is 3.125". If displayed at their full size, how would those images be tiny on any Kindles? It seems to me 200px by 300px would be too big on a 6" Kindle Touch and just about right size on a ten inch tablet. (These are just backmatter images of covers of my other ebooks. screenshot 50 is of a "right" size image--actual size of 1.25" by 1.75")
Even the images that display bigger and look right are not displayed as 2.08" by 3.125". At least not on my 6" Touch Kindle where they are displayed as 1.25" by 1.75." If they displayed as 2.08" by 3.125" they would take up more than half the screen and be too big (in my opinion anyway).
An added (mind bending) complication. (Now all this refers to
updated versions of my ebooks I'm delivering from Amazon's Manage Your Contents and Devices "Content" tab to my 6" Touch Kindle via Whispersnyc.)
What I've found is that when I download, as opposed to using the Whispersync, the actual file of the updated ebook to my Downloads folder and then hook up a USB cable and upload the file to my Kindle, the images display larger (1.25" by 1.75") and "right" size, if you will.
It seems that, at least on my Kindle, the Whispersyncing may be sending the .625" X 1" image sizes for some reason. (Why, I have no idea.)
Could it be that my images with the height and width information specified (screenshot 20) are actually being displayed properly on regular first time purchases?
