Was a Tool Used to Make This Book?

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if the book I just played around with was done manually or with some kind of automated tool. Here's the start of the single file in the whole book:
Code:

<html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"/>
 
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"/>
  <meta name="generator" content="Amazon.com"/>
  <title>Edocument Template</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/0001.css" type="text/css"/>
 </head><body>
  <div>
  <p style="margin:0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.83%; text-align:center; widows:0; orphans:0"> <span style=" font-size:1.2rem; font-weight:bold" id="3-a7edb3a0f4894830899c38b0e36751ab">SMALL MEDIUM: WELL DONE</span> </p>

I grabbed that from the AZW3 format. This particular book is the third in Andrew Seiple's "Small Medium" series entitled: "Well Done"." There's only one file in the whole book and the stylesheet looks like this:
Code:

                        @page Section1 { size:612pt 792pt; margin:72pt 90pt }
                        div.Section1 { page:Section1 }

IOW, all formatting is done by html codes in the text. Which is odd for a book published in 2019.

The "generator" and "Amazon.com" makes me want to think this was some kind of Amazon tool. But again, it seems odd that any kind of modern tool would format a book like this
