The end of the books show repeated pages and pages that are out of order (sometimes even the book's cover repeated). If I try to upload this data to KDP, I get an invalid mobi file error.

[Update: the problem seems to be with KindleGen v2.9. Downgrading to v2.8 doesn't have the issue when running KindleStrip.]
Interesting. I tested my fixed-layout templates and was unable to reproduce this issue. Built using KindleGen 2.9 (Windows) and tested in Kindle Previewer 2.901 (Fire, Fire HD, Fire HD 8.9", and Paperwhite modes) and on my Paperwhite device. The templates are about 14 pages long, 600 x 1024 pixels; I tested both the "comic" book type, portrait orientation (with or without a TOC page) and the "children" book type, landscape orientation (with or without a TOC page). Attaching the source files.
