I played around with it a bit with some Word documents I have on hand, importing them and looking at the previews.

I also uploaded a KPF file it produced to KDP. Having done that I found that I could preview online, but not download a preview file of the book.

I did a quick publish/un-publish and saw something I thought was strange. Since the KPF file is essentially KFX format it was not surprising that the book showed Enhanced Typesetting available and downloaded to my Kindle as KFX. I expected this since KPF is just a variant of KFX.

The odd thing was that when I downloaded the fallback format using Download & Transfer via USB, the result was a MOBI file. I had expected a KF8/AZW3 file instead. That makes me wonder whether I did something wrong or if that is just the way it works. Perhaps when you Publish via Kindle Create you get MOBI and KFX, but not KF8.

I am curious to find out whether others experience the same thing.
