What makes me so cross is that Amazon insist in selling in mobi format. OK, fine. Their choice. But they
specifically state that Kindlegen can "convert HTML, XHTML, XML (OPF/IDPF format), or ePub source into a Kindle Book."
The specs for HTML, ePub and the rest are available to them. The details of how mobi works are not available to us. The onus is on the people who insist on the black box format to make sure their conversion program can actually handle the input they claim it can, or to at the very least to describe what can't be converted. We, the users, shouldn't be forced to jam combination after combination through their meatgrinder to find out what does and doesn't work
It's... it's... it's... it's just bloody
rude, is what it is.
