Exactly what I said earlier.


Anyone seriously producing ebooks does test anything using new formatting on the KF7, KF8 Amazon default and KF8 Publisher option, some apps and some epub eink ereaders before they upload to KDP anyway!

If it's just using tried and tested styles, HTML, and Images then just Book Check, Epub Check, Check all TOC entries on a viewer and all links/footnotes etc on a viewer and quick check on one eink is enough.

Images of new sizes might need more testing.

The only point at all for a publisher using epub2 upload to KDP is to see Amazon's conversion. Which is why even when there was a more real preview file that could load on a real kindle we did test purchases of KF7 (mobi) and KF8 (azw3) for two different Kindles. Seems that is now more important if we change any recipe anywhere.

Wonder what @Hitch thinks?
Boyos:

Well, I think that you've all forgotten the old days, all this Sturm und Drang.
  • Download zip.
  • unzip Zip
  • Open OEBPS
  • Grab OPF
  • Drag-drop onto KP3.
  • KABLAMMO, opens up the formatted eBook.
  • Export to: MOBI or AZK for previewing on real-live devices.
Right? Or did you lads already discuss this and I skimmed past it?
