iOS is more restrictive about the layout engine you can use, I think it has to be WebKit. It used to look much, much worse before Amazon came up with an iOS specific delivery format. But personal docs don’t get this feature.
That's exactly it. Personal docs aren't included, so they look pretty bad in the iOS Kindle app. The same epub will look beautiful in the Apple Books app.

Seems bad advertising for Kindle if folks should compare. I drop epubs into Apple Books from Dropbox, they look lovely. Send one to Kindle documents service and it's a horror show in Kindle for iPad, LOL!

Oh well! At least I know what's going to happen. But I feel for the folks who don't.
