1. You can produce an EPUB that follows Chapter 12 (Creating Fixed-Layout Books with Image Pop-Ups or Virtual Panels) of the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines. This can be tested using the Kindle Previewer, which can also export a KF8 .mobi file for reading on Kindle devices.

2. You can generate a KF8 .mobi file using Amazon's Kindle Comic Creator GUI application. This can also be read on Kindles.

3. You can produce a KPF file using Amazon's Kindle Create GUI application in comic mode. You can publish that on Amazon or convert to KFX (using my KFX Output plugin) and sideload the result to the Kindle for Android or iOS app. You can also convert it to EPUB (using my KFX Input plugin) and the result should (hopefully!) be usable for method #1.

4. Kindle Comic Converter is a non-Amazon tool that can convert a set of images to a KF8 MOBI with a simple panel view. I don't have any experience with it.
Thank You Very much, For that detailed and in-depth illustration. When I first saw it I thought I was misunderstood, and now I feel like it's a philosophy classic, You get something new on each read I learned a ton.
I thought about kindle create to convert to KF8, but then I realized it doesn't offer that. Shame since KC offers automatic panel detection with minimal tweaks. But as You then elaborated it would be possible to use Your amazing KFX Input (which I also have installed). I hope Kindle comic creator offers auto-panel detection, since that would be great since it skips the middle-man ang goes straight to KF8. When I fire it up I'll be sure to update the thread on the progress, so then if You feel like it You can post on the first post so people, so hopefully there would be less off-topic, from individuals such as myself. I think the main misunderstanding comes from the dogmatic thinking that kfx is the holygrail, and only it is usable for images on a kindle, I certainly never thought to look in KF8 direction.
Thank You very much for the current and previous help, You solved a long lasting dilema of mine, as well as a source of annoyment.
