The problem I've been having is that a sideloaded version doesn't match the downloaded one. Specifically, I get MOBI-style linespacing, not KF8/ePub-style linespacing. That's the most obvious way I can tell the difference. I don't have a ton of stuff that has formatting the only works in KF8 to test that way.
Sometimes, I
will get the KF8-style formatting when downloading to the Paperwhite. But it varies from book to book, and how it is converted (I use Calibre for everything). But when it does come through as KF8, the cover doesn't work.
This makes me ask what is probably a fairly important question: How are you doing the conversion?
EDIT: I've just tried Kindlegen as well on an ePub where I got MOBI when using Calibre for the MOBI+KF8 conversion. I got the KF8 output, but no cover.
