Well, I at least thought that was interesting, also.
But I'd really like to see the new tools, an in particular, how these handle degradation to what we previously thought of as 'mobi'. I can see where we'll usually get a good, more or less lossless KF8 conversion from most ePub filies, but the conversion ePub to mobi that the tools currently do is not fully adequate (not that it prevents some big publishers from using it, rather than deriving mobi source files). Even downgrading from 'native' KF8 source to 'legacy' mobi seems like it would be problematic, unless there's some provision to include legacy source in parallel.
I think 'legacy' devices will experience some loss of quality as a result. And I'm assuming the cutoff will be K4 and later, i.e. Kindle Keyboard will not get KF8 capabilities. Hope I'm wrong about that.
