If your side-loaded AZK book isn't visible in the Kindle app, it might contain an error or an advanced KF8 feature not yet supported by the iOS app.
Did you check the console messages that are being displayed during the preview phase in the lower right corner for warnings and error messages?


IMHO, the market share of iOS apps on Apple devices is negligible compared with the market share of eInk Kindles and Fire tablets.
As far as I know, all the books that we've made for FF KF8 Kids' books are available to buy on the iOS devices. Even those we made 2 years go. Now, that being said, we make ours by hand, not by using KKBC, which is far too limited for my tastes.

You must have an error in the book, or the KKBC is limited. I would suspect either or both.

And I concur with my friend Doits; the share of the iOS market for Kindle books, of any type, is very small, if not non-existent.
