My suggestion is to bury your penguin beak/nose in the KF8 documentation until you can create good KF8. Don't use crap like calibre to create a KF8. Don't simply try to convert someone else's garbage. Don't use Sigil to create an ePub then try to convert it. LEARN to do it RIGHT and from scratch.
If it still looks like garbage then you might have a legitimate complaint.

The ePub is not garbage. It's well made. It has no structural errors. When converted to KF8, it works fine on a Kindle Fire and in Kindle 1.9.2 for Windows. It's only with a Kindle Touch firmware 5.1 that it doesn't work. So how is this garbage in, garbage out as it's not garbage. Even Kindlegen's output has the same results. So why would you use Kindlegen if it is so broken? Amazon has been accepting ePub for conversion for some time. Are you saying that Amazon cannot create proper software to convert a format they allow to be used as the source?
