I loaded it on my Kindle DXG along with the *.HTML file renamed to *.TXT. The MOBI showed up blank and the TXT file looked like a normal book, that is black text on white page. Apparently the Kindle overrides a back page and turns it white. I attached the files for anyone who might want to test this out. I really don't think it looks good in low light siutuations, but someone else might.
