Download & Transfer: 2.17MB AZW3 file with color JPEG images
3rd gen Kindle Keyboard: same as Download & Transfer
5th gen Paperwhite 1: 678KB AZW3 + 958KB AZW6 with B/W JPEG-XR images
9th gen Oasis 2: 1.5MB KFX with B/W JPEG-XR images
Kindle for PC 1.39: 33.1MB KFX with high resolution color images
So in the end the quality of the book you receive varies greatly according to the device for which it is downloaded. |

Huh, good to know.
Its a shame you cant use K4PC anymore to download (new) books with higher quality images than Download and Transfer.
Dont think Android work for that anymore either. I should probably look at non-Amazon retailers for anything image heavy I suppose.
