The notes do not pop up when you change the page. You just see highlighted text and maybe a small symbol to see that there is a not attached to the highlighted text.

As long as the resukt is better I do care how it looks under the hood. I saw the code of a Kotobee generated page and did not like it ...

Regarding Word: Would you upload that directly then?

My plan so far was
a) exporting an epub from InDesign (freeflow :-))
b) converting it to AZW or MOBI with Calibre

When doing that the code looks much better ...
A. No to InDesign. You are best hand crafting the code if you want good code.
b. No to converting with Calibre as amazon won't accept it. You can create an ePub and use that as the source for uploading to Amazon.

The problem that the pictures are not displayed correctly (ratio wise) after exporting I should be able to handle once I slept, but the other problem is: The Kindle Previewer tells me that it has a problem with documents generated by Calibre (third party software bla bla). Any idea or should I ignore it and upload it anyway?

Alternatively I could convert the word file to mobi/azw?

Thanks and Greetings

Using Word isn't going to work well. You need to be able to see how the eBook looks using the code for the eBook. You nee to figure out the code to keep the images displayed with the correct aspect ratio. You need high resolution images for display on 300DPI eInk screens and you also need to test on old Readers with a 800x600 resolution eInk screen. You have to come up with the code to keep your images at the correct aspect yet leave enough room on scree if you want a caption.
