I know it is possible to unpack a .mobi file and separate out the old mobi and new KF8 files - is there anything stopping us offering the KF8 file for download, specifying that it is for colour Kindle devices only (which are obviously all KF8 compatible)? The file won't be selling on Amazon, it would be downloaded from either the client's website or ours.

thanks,

With your ePub, generate a .mobi file with Kindlegen. After that -with that .mobi- use KindleUnpack with the option "Split Combination KF8 Kindle Books" and you'll get your .kf8/azw3 file (and also a K7 file but this one you won't use it).
