In other words... no dual purpose files are being delivered to customers. The dual-purpose file is being split before delivery... based on what the requesting device/app can support.

But I think you're correct that many will neglect to even bother ensuring what they submit looks right on the older devices. But that's to be expected. It will be a very slow process, but mobi has been officially notified of its own demise.

What devices do not support KF8? Are you saying that a K2 doesn't open a Kf8???
