The Saga continues. I wrote to Andreas Christensen, the author of Exodus, who was good enough to reply. The second edition of Exodus, which was our "test book", was written in Word and the Word file was uploaded to KDP. There was also a first edition published through BookBaby which does not appear to be relevant here. Andreas now mainly writes in Scrivener so it is likely that his later works will be much better formatted as EBooks.
This is interesting since the input source was shown as "kjw", which Kevin speculated quite reasonably was some type of Kindle EBook of some sort. I now wonder if the "w" stands for Word? In this case, and it is really clutching at straws, could the "r" in the "kpr" input format in the second problem book signify "rich text format" Could these be some sort of intermediate file produced by KDP from Word or RTF before being input to Kindlegen? Perhaps even the mysterious Kindletool? It may be that we will never know the answer. If the problem has now been fixed in KDP we will not be able to reproduce it.
