Testing books by side-loading them to a Kindle device/app is no longer described. It appears that they now feel that using their Kindle Previewer is sufficient even though it does not reflect how books will be displayed on older devices that do not support Enhanced Typesetting.

Kindle Create replaces Kindle Textbook Creator. It performs the same function and more.

Listed changes are:
Man, lotsa luck with only using Previewer! Sheesh, I've reported at least 5 serious flaws with this newest KP3.x version. What a freaking nightmare. Links don't work, images display incorrectly, centered text doesn't display correctly, hanging-indented text displays wrong...on and on and on. Oh, and images inside of tables (to create side-by-side image displays) doesn't work right. Those are just off the top of my head.

They'll be prying those devices from my cold dead hands, and lemme tell ya, it's a freaking nightmare to explain to clients over and over that "oh, well, Previewer is broken, so you'll have to trust me," and worse, having to sideload all of them, take screenshots, drag them someplace convenient, send 'em to the client...ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!! I mean, if I were only doing 1-2 books a week, not a big deal, but...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
