2. If you want take titles from the kindle instead, you will probably want a 3rd or 4th gen device because image heavy books use azw6 files. The plugin for merging azw6 files doesnt currently support those and theyre lower quality B/W images anyway. More details from jhowell and Duckie in this post. Kindle Keyboard (3rd gen) and Touch(4th gen) are confirmed to not split files. I would assume a (non-touch) 4th gen would work too but havent seen anyone confirm it.

@ownedbycats if you could put a note below the jhowell quote in the first post about his subsequents tests for azw6 file image splitting that would probably help clarify.
If at all possible, don't buy image heavy eBooks from Amazon. Buy them as ePub and convert. Amazon plays games with eBooks with hi-res images.
