Luna format
Has anyone heard of a reflowable Kindle e-book format called Luna?
I came across it in a list of reflowable formats in the Kindle firmware released today, but I have never heard of it before. Quote:

I came across something related to this open question.
Kindle Editions with Audio-Video are delivered to Fire tablets with media file names that begin with "luna". Perhaps Luna is an internal name for that variant of MOBI format. |

When I started this thread I was curious whether Luna might refer to something new that we would need to look out for. Now I feel fairly certain that it refers to this old format instead.
I had thought that Kindle Editions with Audio-Video were defunct, so I was surprised to see that new books are still being published in that format. Strangely a lot of the new books published using the audio/video Kindle format are German soft core porn. |

Kindlegen changes up the coding a bit and Amazon splits out the media files and delivers them separately on the apps that support this format (Fire and iOS only). |

Where does one need to register for uploading, and to which amazon FTP service? (This is only for personal publishing fun, I would be reluctant to $ign anything in blood ) |

This is one of the reasons that KDP doesn't open up audio/video to amateur publishers, because it's not testable and all that. Again, you can try to see if the a/v plays, in Previewer (that's probably your best hope of seeing it); but the likelihood of it playing (via the MOBI-->KP-->AZK-->hard-wired Xfer via iTunes to iOS-->Kindle for iOS) is slim. I hope that helps. I don't see how uploading it to KDP would help you, but you can TRY by going to: https://kdp.amazon.com/ , creating an account (no signatures in blood) and uploading it there and then trying to download the PREVIEW MOBI, at the relevant step in the 2nd section.

^ ACK. Thanks for replying. I had already tried Previewer, AZK and KDP to no avail ...Ah well, beyond amateur's reach. Not much is lost
