I've been playing with the new Kindle Previewer, and following works slick:

The process seems faster as well.
Kindlegen/Kindle Previewer conversion is definitely to be preferred over calibre, especially if you are submitting to KDP. And now, these are the only tools that can generate KF8 (pending some future update to calibre). Kindle Fire is currently the only device with KF8 support, but I expect support for at least K4/KT to show up within a few months.
