Since AZK files are generated from KindleGen generated .mobi files customers with an iPad 2 (or higher) should get the equivalent of the AZK files that Kindle Previewer generates if they have Kindle for iOS 4.9 (or higher) installed.

IMHO, uploading a test file to KDP is too much of a hassle and ultimately not worth it, because as you full well know Amazon previewers aren't 100% reliable, however, a sideloaded AZK file should reflect what customers with the latest Kindle app will get.
If you're really, really curious, feel free to process the
source ePub with Kindle Previewer and upload it to KDP.

This behavior might be caused by outdated iOS Kindle apps (for example, drop-caps were only introduced in 4.9), CSS issues or weird KDP bugs.
