Yes. Upload epub2 to Amazon is best. Even gives the "Enhanced Typesetting" on KFX downloads!

Also inline bold and italics seem to work most reliably IN a paragraph, rather than a named character style. Using inline super & subscript is OK too. I've found that using named Character Styles for those doesn't seem to work on Mobi conversions from Doc or Docx, using Word or LO Writer (Windows or Linux). Paragraph styles for paragraphs.
Don't use inline fontface, fontsize, alignments, indents, only named paragraph styles. Body text level for everything except headings to appear in a TOC. Only put an Anchor at the start of a paragraph for the manually created hyperlinks on TOC. Edit the Wordprocessor Contents generator to put no tabs, no page numbers and no hyperlinks. Or copy/paste it into notepad to strip it.

I've also found that Mobi and AZW/KF8 is best made from an epub2 in Calibre, that was made from a docx (Word or Writer, but don't edit a docx in Writer, only save as).

If MS Word or LO Writer is used properly with styles, there is no need to do ANY CSS/HTML editing in Calibre. Simply convert the docx. But select Tablet for Page setup if the images are correct.

IN the WP, make sure all page related stuff like snap to grid, register true, left & right pages etc is all off/disabled.
