Thanks as always, jhowell, for the detailed explanation. I feel like I should pay you tuition for all that you have taught me over the years

Ooh. So the Amazon customer rep was correct when they said it was the publisher's "fault" — not that they put it in those exact words, but I was skeptical when they tried to pass the buck. My bad.

Some examples of content that will pass kindlegen but fail kfxgen are: complex SVG images, complex or nested tables, tables with negative margins, content in unsupported languages, unsupported CSS (eg: counter-increment, first-letter selector with non alpha text), unresolved internal links, and non-numeric page numbers.
Interesting. This is a straight text novel, no tables, though there is a map. Now I want to pick apart the KF8 and try to figure out why it failed kfxgen
