Then, there's a K8 folder that contains a completely re-engineered set of files, all renamed, resized images, etc. of what was originally in my EPUB file.
And then there's a kindlegensrc.zip file, that when unzipped, contains my original unaltered files.
It all seems so excessive.
thanks,

The only new thing that Mobiunpack creates is the epub, which is generated from the K8 folder. The HTML, ncx, opf and folder of images are the mobipocket version, the K8 is the new Kindle Format 8 version and the kindlegensrc.zip are indeed your original files which are also in the Mobipocket file.
Yes, the output from the new KindleGen does contain the Mobipocket, KF8 and your source files, all wrapped up in one.
