Hi, I've read numerous posts saying that Word formatted Bullets won't work on a kindle so i have 2 questions

1. I just tried adding a word document with MS Word bullets added to Amazon kdp. Then i used the Amazon preview to view the bullets on different devices, And it looked perfect on All devices except for the kindle DX where the separation between bullet and text was a bit larger, but not bad.
Does this mean that you can upload word formatted bullets on todays (2015) kindle devices? Or is it still a no-go for some reason?

2. If this is not acceptable, will I need to save the Word document as a HTML file and then add bullets like this and then upload HTML file to KDP?

<.ul>
<.li> item 1 <./li>
<.li> item 2 <./li>
<./ul>

thank you very much for the help!
