I'm editing an azw3 file in Calibre and looking at the results in Kindle Previewer and Kindle. Sometimes even when something seems to work in Kindle Previewer, it's still problematic in Kindle.

So I'm wondering, should I even be using Kindle Previewer?
or, should I keep fiddling until I get happy results in both?
or is each maybe useful in a different way (and if so, what is each program's strong point?)?

I'm using Kindle Previewer 3 and Kindle 1.25.2 on a Mac.
Both appear to be up to date (I just downloaded Previewer yesterday).

(If it makes a difference, the issue where I noticed the discrepancy is image size. But if that's not relevant to understanding the [apparent] previewer discrepancies, please ignore.)
