As an aside it's just plain kooky that the KDP Previewer doesn't preview the ultimately converted file. Why on earth would you preview an intermediate stage?

Because other magical shtuff is done in the PW. For example, the books that DO get that "leave a review" geegaw at the end, get them in the PW. Not all books do, despite what "Sell Your Book on Amazon!" self-proclaimed "experts" may tell you. Other things happen, too.

At least that's confirmation that it might, in fact, not be totally due to my own ineptitude.
Who would guess that KDP would choke on valid XML?
Man, once I get this sorted it will be such a relief. It's been going on for 5 weeks.
Thanks again.

I feel ya. I am, right this second, sitting here late because we have a book that mysteriously, has an SRL that is starting AFTER the first chapter's first page, not in some other mystery location, and it ONLY happens AFTER the client uploads--her cover.
Why would the cover affect SRL? It shouldn't. But can I replicate it? Yes. Is this a brand-new SRL glitch and bug, unrelated to the previous SRL bugs? Yes.
Does it make me
Oh, yeah. Along with
