As HarryT says, if text flows along side an image in an ePub then it should in KF8. Note that the Kindle Previewer (get it from the Kindle Format 8 page) includes KindleGen, so all you need to do is import an ePub into the Previewer to get a KF8 mobi.

There is a fixed layout option in KF8, but this is different from everyone else's fixed layout approach (Fixed Layout in KF8 for Amazon Kindle is Disappointing). In any case, with fixed layout you would need a widescreen version (Kindle Fire) and a 4:3 version (iPad, Kindle Touch).
