Not really. A KF8 still consists of various records in a binary database. The "KF8 is just an epub in a mobi wrapper" mantra is a bit too simplistic, really. In the sense that html and css are used to present the various "flows," there may be comparisons made to epub, but by that rationale ... all ebook formats would be a modified ePub, then.

A more apt description is that all the components of an ePub can be seamlessly converted to a KF8 ebook that renders (and navigates) nearly identically to the original ePub. But an ePub it ain't.
