Thanks for all the info. It appears that my goal can't be accomplished because of the way Amazon chose to do it.
It's weird that their attempt to "normalize formatting" only affects the smaller device (Scribe margins are within a few millimeters of accurate), and does so in such a way as to reduce the amount of text on the screen...a screen that has less room for text in the first place.

I've got quite a few books purchased from Amazon that still download as MOBI, even to Kindle for PC, or via WiFi to my Kindles. There's nothing special about them other than the fact that they were first published in eBook form ten or more years ago.
It seems like Amazon takes the file in from the author/publisher, converts to all the current formats, and then sells the book. Later on when a new format comes around, only a limited set of books get the new format added to the download pool.
