I would not actually call it s KF8 file but it is the equivalent of that file in its capabilities. It is described in our wiki AZK so you can read about it there. As generated in Kindle Previewer it is a JSON collection of files that are zipped together. The file is created by selecting an iOS device in the latest Kindle previewer. The created file contains both the ePub source files renamed (if you start with an ePub) and the resultant compiled versions. I have yet to receive one directly from Amazon so I am not sure exactly what they strip out.
