Huh, interesting point. I'll just download Previewer onto a Windows I have and give it a whirl--but thanks for the offer to generate it for me

Hm, hopefully, but can't take chances...

Wow! Interesting. Yeah, I inspected your .azk file that I sideloaded successfully, and once it's pulled into Kindle it's become one of those folders with the .kcr manifest or whatever. Do we know what those are? They're not an azw, right? Some other kind of file format?
Otherwise, I'll report back when I've tried the Windows version of azkcreator.
