What was the original cbz size before you resized it? And what happened to the sizes after running the original through kcc? Some suspicion that your reduction makes it hard for kcc to handle.

When it converts to EPUB, is KCC set to output MOBI or EPUB? EPUB is an intermediate format, if you are observing an EPUB size in file explorer while converting to MOBI you may be looking at an intermediate value that isn't the true size. Try selecting EPUB output instead and see if that's the same result.

This causes kindlegen to reconvert all files, multiplying export time and reduce quality. Do not use with MOBI and disable processing.
