1. Write your manuscript in Word

3. Export it as a universal ePub
4. Until Apple fixes this, tweak the eBook paragraphs in Sigil.

If the writer only wants to publish to Amazon KDP, then I agree. These steps work
1. Write your manuscript in Word (use a KDP template)
2. Save as a PDF
3. Upload the PDF to KDP

I don't think you read what I wrote. Moreover, using a PDF for the KDP is the worst-possible way to go. It will give the publisher the worst-possible eBook.

What I said was, all you have to do is upload an ePUB--either ePUB2 or 3--to the KDP--period. That has nothing whatsoever to do with publishing "only" to KDP. You can use that same ePUB for every other vendor.
