I'm playing around with making some poetry chapbooks I've created in the past available in AZW format. I keep getting mixed results from my changes to the HTML document which I use to create the Kindle book, but I can only see the result of my efforts once the book has been uploaded and I've gotten it onto my Kindle that way--which involves a two to three day "review" delay.

The "Preview" option is hopelessly inadequate since it doesn't actually show you how the Kindle book will look or behave once it is on the device.

Is there a way for me to generate the AZW file and then just look at it on my Kindle and keep doing this until I'm sure all the formatting is correct?
