Yes, I saw the checkmark in KP3 and just assumed that it means ET is already enabled. Thanks for the explanation.

I think I'm going to stick with Calibre to produce a MOBI and will try to simplify the epub HTML/CSS as much as possible. If that effort will fail, then I'll resort to shipping a separately optimized PDF file produced with Pandoc.

KindleGen is a black box that requires too much experimentation. For example, just esterday I learned why it picks a wrong color for inline <code> tags in KF7 - it treats the "code span.al" CSS selector rule as "code, code span.al"...

Also, right about the time when I decided to build a Docker container with my book toolchain, Amazon discontinued KindleGen for Linux... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24275231
