I know the switch --profile="None" exists (and am grateful Kovid has allowed this), but IMHO it is a shame to have this source format be "butchered" i.e. somewhat arbitrarily split, so as to meet this minuscule limitation. I mean what happened, so as to not use MB or GB capacity or storage, since 300KB... KB, I mean, is so 1990's!!!!!!!

I'm not shooting the messanger, but just the imposer of the limitation!
Nick, my friend, I know that you feel strongly about this limitation, but let's be honest: This 300KB rule is not Kovid's and he has only implemented it because there ARE a lot of Sony readers around. The Bebooks seem to have still more problems with epubs (as far as I have heard) and so epubs would be limited to PCs and Iphones and we surely don't want that.
