I was looking for an answer just to understand why when I create a mobi+azw3 package using Kindle Previewer 3 to convert my ePub3 file, the ebook does look perfect on any Kindle reader. However, when I send the very same ePub3 file using SendtoKindle or email to the Kindle reader address, the results are horrible, with missing fonts and other CSS flaws that ARE NOT PRESENT on the mobi/azw file converted from the very same ePub3 source.

This means that something is getting modified or stripped out by Amazon in the process. But you all know that Amazon is dismissing mobi/azw file loading, so I'm back to square one.
When you finish your ePub, subset the fonts and you'll see which ones can be deleted because they are not used.

Also, are you going to fix the code so it works properly with both ePub 2 and ePub 3?
