I see that Epubcheck is a command line software. I can use that kind of thing but it's pretty much beyond me. Thankfully I haven't had to yet. KDP didn't mention it that I recall. I've sold hundreds of copies of my ebooks and haven't had a complaint yet even though I don't recall using it.

I just ran a sample chapter with a dozen photos thru https://www.ebookit.com/tools/bp/Bo/...epub-validator and it said no errors. it gave me warnings about fonts and a warning about "CSS selector specifies absolute position" in one location that was listed as the last page of the book, well past that chapter.

Hmmm, I just used https://www.epubconverter.com to convert my EPUB to MOBI and then looked at the resulting file on both iphone and Samsung and the display photos are great on both! ...also the anchored placement.

I think that given my skill level i'm going to have to just try various tools out there and then test the results on all my available devices and testing services then when I get something that seems good all around, I'll upload to Kindle and if that goes well we'll see what happens.
With all due respect, NONE of those display KF7, and nor does KP3.

But I see little reason to continue trying to push this chain uphill. I mean, you're sure that anchors work, having not tested your files on a single actual Kindle device, and given that my company's only made 4,000+ eBooks--what would I know?
