If it works, sideload the kfx file to your Kindle via USB.
Ok, so that explains why version 2.x gave me no issues and the new 3.14 does.

I don't have a current eInk Kindle model which is why I was using the Kindle previewer. It was really nice to see how it looked in different font sizes, tablet, phone, etc.

I used Dreamweaver to create all my files (as I have heavy experience using it and do all my coding via Dreamweaver). I did install Calibre this morning and tried to output it as a .mobi file (their new version of .mobi) but when I opened it using the Kindle previewer I received the error similar to "you are using a 3rd party to create your .mobi file and enhanced typeset isn't supported, etc." Never seen that error before.

I just downloaded Sigil and figured I'd try and output it from there as a .mobi. But... that doesn't seem possible :-) I'm new to ePubs and this is driving me nuts. Sigh...
