Image quality in books delivered to e-ink Kindle devices is generally lower than that delivered to other Kindle reading apps. While the linked thread demonstrates a particularly bad example of poor image quality in a book written by Brandon Sanderson I do not see any evidence that Amazon is specifically targeting books by that author.
I'm not saying Amazon is targeting Brandon Sanderson. It just happens because I saw this eBook at Overdrive and that it has hi-res graphics, it reminded me of the thread. I was wondering if Amazon changed their policy given other Kindle eBook changes. But it seems not.
