There is then no need at all to download from Amazon, the PDF you upload is what they use.

Actually, there is a difference. That was my point. The PDF I uploaded with JPEG/JPG images looked good, but the 'downloadable proof' has jaggies. If I converted the JPEG/JPG images to PNG, then uploaded that file, the 'downloadable proof' looks good. The printed book with JPEG/PNG will have jaggies, but the printed book with PNG will not.

Don't use an ebook as source if you are publishing on paper.

All my books are in EPUB format. I upload those to Amazon as-is. I convert the EPUB format in calibre with one click to PDF, then upload that output (almost) as-is. (I post-process the 'printer offset' margin such that the outer is half-inch; inner is one-inch. I do this because Amazon does not recognize the method of printer offset used with calibre's conversion to PDF.)
