I have taken one of their eBooks and simplified the code and it cut out a lot of the useless code.
Yes, I had an issue converting one of their books too (I think I picked Advanced epub, which I took to be ePub3). I don't remember how I fixed it.

It's shameful that they blame Amazon for conversion issues with Send To Kindle, which handles ePub from other sources very well. They should clean up their code and verify themselves with Kindle Previewer. Once they do it for one, they can update everything and everybody will be happy, they can stop wasting their time generating AZW3 and thumbnails.

AZW3 just looks comparatively bad IMO, you can no longer add these to your Kindle (cloud) library, and one might ask how they are creating AZW3, presumably those also includes their useless code.
