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?
You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Amazon will also let you convert from other sources too, but that doesn't mean you will get quality KF8. Quality ePub does not mean quality KF8. There are differences between the two and if you don't fully understand those differences then you will get garbage out. Kindle Previewer isn't broke, it just requires good coding. Take the time to fully learn KF8 formatting rather trying to take shortcuts!
