You can try to compensate for some of the changes made during KFX conversion, but that will be a trial and error process.

Thanks! Yeah, I spent some frustrating time today trying to work around some of these issues, but didn't get anywhere. What I've learned:
- Putting margin-left: -1em on anything causes the KFX conversion in Calibre to fail with a generic error.
- A negative text-index on <p>'s that aren't inside an <li> seems to get ignored and reset to 0 (or possibly only when they're combined with ::before content).
- <ul>'s have some padding-left that I can't seem to get rid of. It's like there's a useragent stylesheet on the Kindle that overrides the book's style.
- Monospaced paragraphs seem to render larger than they do in the .azw3 format.
- There doesn't seem to be any way to create hanging indents with a custom bullet point.
- Kindle Previewer is terrible software.
I'm not sure that getting proper dropcaps and the page-flip navigation is worth all that pain.
