When I tested it, the file results that came out were KF7 MOBis, not KF8, and that makes a huge difference in the results.

In fact, Amazon itself will tell you that "send to Kindle" and side-loading won't emulate the for-sale MOBIs.

That's why I'm asking him to be precise, about how he gets the files from the download (to his computer, presumably) to the KTouch. It makes a difference.
True. I think there's a way to get KF8 personal docs but you have to use dual-format MOBI for email to Kindle. I have absolutely no idea what other processing KDP does for books that will be published. I only email to Kindle for personal docs.

@Gregg Bell
Here are the physical dimensions of a 200x300 image on various Kindle models.

Kindle (basic): 167 ppi
1.2" x 1.8"

Kindle Paperwhite 1/2 (5th/6th gen): 212 ppi
0.9" x 1.4"

Kindle Paperwhite 3/4 (7th/10th gen): 300 ppi
0.7" x 1.0"

Perhaps instead of using pixels, use percentages to define the size? Alas, I'm not familiar enough with HTML/CSS to know the proper coding.
