The DXG, KK3 and PW3 are only used for tests and only if we use a new style / format in the LO Writer source. So far we have three families of heading styles and same styles etc for body text, images, lists, boxed text, quotes etc in every book. Means really just checks TOC etc isn't broken and images correct % width, or % height or absolute size (the 3 image options we use) on new titles. You have it a lot harder!

Oh, that's no thing. I have...IDK, 6-10 Kindles of various shapes and sizes here and I know what they're doing with the newer ones.
It's the old ones and AZW, in the exceedingly rare circumstances when I may need one, that mattered to me in the context of this discussion.
If a would-be or whatever customer comes to me, used some other service, or was "published" by someone somewhere, like...say, IngramSpark, that means an ePUB was uploaded (somewhere) for the eBooks. It's best for the customer if I find that, and use it, rather than them paying us to make an entirely new eBook with X changes, right? Given my druthers, I'll look at Kobo, but that's sometimes not an option (or they didn't publish via IS, whatever) so I go looking for an AZW that can be...hmmm...unpeeled and unpacked, let's say.
Client's content, client's money...that's all. Just lookin' out over their expenditures like I would my own, I guess.
