@Photocoen...In the old days Amazon used to recommend using EPUB 3 format for fixed layout(aka print replica). But now Amazon currently advises and recommends that you should only create a fixed layout ebook using Kindle Create, which is their own recommended proprietary app for specifically creating fixed layout ebooks(all flavours), reflowable ebooks and paperback books.

And since EPUB 3 ebooks are no longer used and are not permitted for Amazon Kindle upload then there would seem to be little point in making this plugin work for EPUB 3 files. I also know this from helping people on the KDP Community Forum, where authors are still posting problems after using Adobe InDesign and EPUB 3 format for their fixed layout ebooks, which tends to create all sorts of weird and wonderful errors on upload. The solution to all these EPUB 3 upload issues is usually always to use Kindle Create instead, loaded with a properly prepared PDF file for all fixed layout ebooks on Amazon.
