To ensure a great reader experience, KDP now requires eBook manuscripts containing only images, including images of text, to be uploaded in a fixed layout. If you upload an image-only eBook manuscript, you'll see an error message in title setup. To publish image-only eBooks on KDP, you can use Kindle Create to change your file to a fixed layout such as comic or print replica. Alternatively, you can re-format your manuscript so that it contains reflowable text, which allows readers to use adjustable text features like font size and typeface for a personalized reading experience.

It seems to me to be a good thing that Amazon is going to start enforcing this. I have seen quite a few self published books on Kindle Unlimited that are just a series of page images but are formatted as a regular reflowable book, resulting in extra margins, occasional blank pages, and other problems.
(Not any big news, but I thought I would post it since this subforum has been very quiet lately.)
