Amazon has moved strongly toward ePUB specs and...well. It is what it is.
The problem (IMHO) is how well made eBooks are rendered on a Kindle. Margins are too wide unless you use negative margins. You cannot reduce the line height unless you use KF8 and a font such as ChareInk thaty has the metadata set to reduce the line height on a Kindle. But then you lose kerning and ligatures. You can use Hyphenate This! or the option in Polish to add soft-hyphens for hyphenations. KFX you cannot reduce the line height. It's hard coded. Basically, there's no way to get it all. But it is good that Amazon is using ePub as the source.

Now if we could only get Amazon to toss out any eBooks created with Vellum.
