Nope. It's one image per page and these are just viewed fullscreen. That or comic viewers allow simple panning. I don't think anyone here knows how Amazon/comiXology implements guided view but if I had to guess, panel data is probably stored in an external file with a list of coordinates and panel dimensions.

It varies but I think it's 1920 max height. One example:

Haven't gotten around to checking what the image reso is on K4PC 1.24. My main desktop runs 1.17 while the 1.24 (maybe 1.23) is installed on my laptop that doesn't get used much. I prefer buying from Kobo (or DRM-free source) but since that's not an option for DC or Marvel, buying comics from Amazon instead of comiXology direct gives multiple options for backup: azw3, azw3+azw6 or kfx, and comiXology Chrome plugin

I know. I've tried both PNG and JPG but the screenshots are already lossy compressed to begin with. There's no getting around the original compression. PNG would just make the files much bigger.
