I don't count Apple and B&N since they use different DRM.
Smashwords all DRM free ePub. Belinda Borrowbox is epub. Some Google and Amazon titles don't use DRM (Except KFX is all DRM).

That's what you think!
KF7 only Kindles.
KF7 models that later got KF8
Kindles that always had KF8
167 dpi vs 300 dpi Kindles. There are some things (simple epub conversion) where the KK3 @ 167 dpi using KF8 is similar to the Kobo @ 300 dpi, but the 300 dpi PW3 is wrong!

Any existing style already tested on a kindle doesn't need tested with a new ebook from epub. But any new style or edit to a style needs tested.
We also check the Amazon retail downloads when a new/revised style is used in the epub. Amazon may not create the same KF7/KF8/KFX from the epub upload as Calibre creates.
We don't much care about KFX and only test an Amazon download.
