I've checked all the documented "not compatible" CSS and HTML, and we're not using any of it.

Kindle Previewer 3 invokes a conversion routine (KFXGenApp) to turn the source file into KPF format, a variant of KFX. This converter produces a lengthy set of log files containing obscure, but sometimes informative, error messages. These logs are not presented by the Previewer. I assume that Amazon felt that they would be too technical for the typical user and didn't want to deal with the support questions that would occur. Some examples of typical error messages are:
Error(YJEpubAdapter):E00403: "Unsupported Transformer for tag : TagName= span Display= inline-block ParentNode= p in file ..\html\09_c3.xhtml at line number 13";
Error(YJConvValidator):E120024: Negative margin for table is not supported.Table Type=DATA_TABLE, PropertyKey=margin_bottom, PropertyValue=decimal:-0.1191 lh
Error(YJConvValidator):E120022: Large Data Table not supported.No. of characters=0, No. of rows=1, No. of cells=6

KFX Output plugin for calibre invokes the Previewer's KFXGenApp, preserves the logs, and presents the final error message if one occurs. You may want to consider giving that a try. It has a command line interface that allows it to be used outside of the calibre GUI.
