Hi. This is probably not a bug or problem, I just noticed that the stripped mobi from KindleStrip1.35 is slightly smaller than the stripped file produced by KDP, about 18KB difference. Why could this be?


Update: I used KindleUnpack to investigate and it turns out that this difference in size is due to an extra JPEG thumbnail of the cover image added by KDP (180 x 240 pixels, 17.3KB). It's a puzzle why KDP would do that because an identical thumbnail is already present in the ebook. KindleStrip doesn't add that extra thumbnail. I guess I answered my own question
