But has anyone used the Kindle Previewer 3 in Beta, and if so, how close to the "real thing" do you find it to be?

I'm looking for a fast way to check various formatting things, and this one seems to be closest to the actual devices that I've offloaded to.

Also need to hear about the best way to preview iPhone and tablet, neither of which I have right now, but will soon.

thanks
Honestly?

I still defer to 2.92. I find it more accurate and more...acute, I guess. Less hazy about how the book will appear on device x.

Vis: iOS. Only ONE WAY to view that. Make an AZK, and sideload the AZK file, via hardwire, to iTunes on your computer, to the device. No other way--if you view a MOBI file on iOS, you're only seeing half the story. And not the good half, either.
