The KDP does a brilliant job with epubs.

You will of course have validated the epub by running Flight Crew or whatever it's called, and also by uploading it to epubcheck online. The latter is important if you plan to publish on Apple iBookstore, not so vital for Amazon, B&N, and Kobo.
What is the problem with using Kindlegen that makes sending the ePub to Amazon to convert better?
