I believe you. I wasn't criticizing the length, etc.; I was just talking about size, no matter how it gets there from here. I find that 96DPI actually works pretty well, for Kindles, generically (eInks and Fires both), if the size (hxw) is adequate.

Kindle Comic Converter does a pretty good job of making an ePub similar to what you get from Kobo from JPEGs/CBZ. Not sure if this is up to snuff for Amazon's standards for selling but it's at least a start.
Yabbut, the problem is, as far as I know--and hopefully, I would (famous last words)--you can't upload that ePUB to KDP and get a working result. Unless/until the coding is wildly different than what I expect, the way that FXL ePUB is coded, when set up "automagically" is almost always for a given tablet screen size, resolution, pixel density--and it's almost ubiquitously NOT set for Kindles. Now, KCC is a piece of private software, so...dunno. What tablet size/screen size, etc. is that set to work with, do you know?

After the whole recent Comixology let's blend it into Kindle business they no longer take submissions.
Yeah, sorry to hear that. It must be very frustrating.
