The book seems to read fine in PC kindle. As yet I haven't tried the latest kindlegen (2.9) itself.
A worthy update. But I doubt accuracy of the japanese rendering (which I don't read BTW). I tried on different platforms and expectedly got quite different results. Kindle Previewer appears to me the most faithful.

[EDIT 2013-06-29 added KKv3.4 and Readium. Readium rendering seems faithful too.]
