Thanks for this suggestion. I just tried the newest 3.66 version of Kindle Previewer.

For my first test, I opened a 1.7 MB epub. It took several minutes to open, but it eventually opened without errors. I closed it and emailed it to my Kindle. It's now a 953.6 KB file in my library.

Next, I opened the same book, but I had processed this copy with Calibre's modify epub plugin. That version was 923 KB and it opened a lot faster. I closed it and emailed it to my Kindle, which resulted in a 950.8 KB file in my library.

I could not tell any differences between the two while perusing them on my Kindle, so perhaps the fact that Kindle Previewer did not complain is indeed a good sign that an epub is ready for sending to Amazon?

Thanks again.
