In such a case we might not trust the preview file offered by Amazon after epub2 upload, but test purchase in UK and USA on two different kindles. I use DXG, Kindle Keyboard 3, Paperwhite 3 and Kindle Android to test if we do a new paragraph style. The Calibre created Dual Mobi from epub2 does KF7 on really old Kindles, choice of KF7 or KF8 on some (Publisher option gives KF8) and on later ones KF8 only with the usual Amazon font fall backs (vary per kindle) unless the user selects Publisher which does give the same appearance as an epub2 ereader using the embedded fonts. Kindle apps count as different kindle models. They ask which it's for if you have more than one Kindle. Amazon create at least three Kindle versions from the uploaded epub2 or docx. Unlike Amazon, Smashwords doesn't know what sort of Kindle you have. You can upload epub direct and/or mobi for Kindle, then whatever isn't uploaded is provided via their ms doc input conversion. They have some prehistoric conversion process that only uses MS-DOC and the results are not great. What Amazon accepts as KDP upload is irrelevant to Smashwords. Smashwords have two well known retailers they don't supply: By 6/28, MOBI files will no longer be accepted, no matter how they are made. Getting an older version of Kindlegen won't help you. If you want to publish a proper file at Amazon, today, just upload a bloody ePUB. (Can't wait to see what Smashwords is planning to do, as they use the Calibre API, AFAIK.) I can't think of a great analogy for that now, but the reality is, you have to embrace what Amazon will accept, going forward, not try to shoehorn in an older format with which you cannot really accomplish anything, publishing-wise. So, trying to find a version of KindlePreviewer that won't pop up the warning is.counterproductive. They are not the same thing-in Amazon's eyes. There is a DIFFERENCE between a "dual mobi" created by Kindlegen, via KG through the CL, or through Previewer, and the "dual mobi" format (AZW) that's created by Calibre. Yes, and they've been popping up warnings about using files created by unsupported programs, in unsupported formats, for some time now. You may or may not receive a reason.I mean this is what Kindle Previewer 3.51 says if I try to open KF8 file with it: Failing to do so will end up on your post being removed and/or your account banned.
