This is very strange! The downloaded, converted book file does not contain the original submission, but it (the original submission) is later tucked into the file at an invisible "Step 7"? (Or has Kindleunpack ignored one of the two files, either my original submission or the epub-plus-wrapper as you neatly describe it?)

So the answer to my original question is: Qualified Yes? Amazon is delivering epubs-in-a-wrapper to owners of the Fire and related devices and apps?
