I am about to publish both Kindle and print versions of a book. In Kindle Previewer I am getting W28002 warnings about the use of counter-increment and counter-reset to format section numbers in my chapters. However, the Previewer displays the section numbers perfectly, and I cannot find a Kindle device that fails to display the section numbers.

Can someone tell me of specific Kindle devices that do NOT support this feature?

Is this a spurious warning (possibly out of date at this point)?

I contacted Kindle support about this and got an incoherent response to what seemed to be a totally different question about accessing my account. I'm going to try them again, but don't have a lot of confidence I'll get a reliable answer, and so I thought I'd just try here to see what people's actual experience with this has been.

It's possible for me to eliminate the use of counter-increment and counter-reset, of course, but it would be pretty painful (across a 350-page book with about 70 section titles in it), and prefer to avoid it if there is really no need.
