Any side loaded content that is EBOK rather than PDOC is likely to get removed when the Kindle connects to amazon server and syncs, unless the ASiN matches a purchase you have made.

Kindle Previewer Version 4 works now, KFX output plugin has been updated for it. But apparently there are some bugs with v4 (already at 4.0.3).

There is also a Kfxgen plugin that generates KFX without Kindle Previewer, but you have to install manually and I do not trust it yet (it had issues with migrating CSS when I tried it a couple of months ago).

And there's Send To Kindle of course.
