I didn't know there was a workaround, but presumably that is gone now. It was only ever intended as a side load format, which is all the more reason it's kind of insulting for SB to provide these instead of making sure their ePubs convert without issues (which is a straightforward task). People that want to side load can do their own conversion with calibre (either to AZW3 or KFX).

Instead they say 'complain to Amazon'.
