Note that ePub 2 is already an input option for the existing KindleGen, but ePub to MOBI is a non-trivial conversion that Amazon does not do optimally.
I'm personally hoping for something similar to their "Print Replica" format (which was a PDF embedded in a record of the normal, everyday Palmdoc wrapper. With the F8 format, I'm expecting something very epub-ish to be embedded in the standard Palmdoc wrapper (which will basically be nothing more than a DRM vehicle).

I could be wrong, though... wouldn't be the first time.
