If it's a k8, embed a sans-serif font or try to call one of the available sans serif fonts that are already on the Fire, Paperwhite, etc., devices.

And the KDP certainly accepts ebook files, both in ePUB and MOBI format, as well as zipped html and even prc files. I hope that helps.

Sorry - I may have been mistaken in my assumption KF8 only reads AZW3 files, and that earlier Kindles are the only ones that read MOBI. Calibre does not specify the device in its mobi output interface. It only gives us the option of "old" mobi, "new" mobi, or "both." It discourages the use of "both" or "new" so I've been using "old." I suppose I could make the guess then that I'm making a MOBI file for use on Kindles prior to KF8, but that would only be a guess.
