I meant that I imported the DOCX into Calibre, then went through the input and output options and exported to EPUB. I then opened the EPUB in the Amazon Kindle Previewer, which automatically converts it to MOBI. I then opened the MOBI in the Kindle App and in Apple iBooks. After several iterations I saw everything I wanted to see, including my embedded fonts. I had to remove section and chapter numbers from the DOCX to get *whatever* to not try to infer structure and indent them; it could have been Calibre but was more likely the Kindle Previewer conversion.

I have not yet looked at the EPUB directly because I'm focused for the moment on KDP. EPUB is just an intermediary output for me right now, though I realize the EPUB will be the branch point for other platforms when I get to that point. I'm focused now on proofing and font licensing.

I have not yet started the Kindle upload process, though I have been through it in the past. I'm hoping my fonts won't be stripped or anything else dumbed down. If they are then I'll be back to the forums and if nothing changes at KDP then I'll be off to another platform starting from the EPUB output.
