The whole download-to-preview thing made sense in the days when you could download a MOBI file and then sideload or email it to a device and get something that would render the same as the final published book. That just isn't possible any more.

Personally I think they should just drop download-to-preview and replace it with something better. it would make much more sense to be able to put a book through the whole conversion process and then push it to your Amazon account as a private book that you could download and view on your own Kindle apps and devices just as if you had purchased a finished and published book. That would allow the book to be seen in all of the various formats and flavors before releasing it. The downside would be the need for the publisher to have various Kindle apps and devices to test with.
