Fair enough. I admitted in my post that it was a pretty alarmist stance in the first place.
My point was simply that there's some people who aren't comfortable submitting calibre generated MOBI's to Amazon (regardless of how nice they may look). Call it paranoid, call it what you will. I love calibre and use it extensively, but if I'm going to ask someone to spend their hard-earned dollars to buy my product from Amazon to read on their Kindle, it's going to be built by Amazon approved publishing programs.
That's just a personal thing, but I'm sure there are others who feel the same way.
