Hi,

The more I think about it. It might be possible to create a KF8 mobi and then zero out the rawml for the older mobi part (or replace it with a placeholder), 0xffffffff out the old index tables from the old header and remove or make zero size all of those indx pieces, leaving pretty much just a simple header section to represent the old side, to be followed by the images and things and then the K8 side.

This might be doable. We will need to keep the older Mobiheader since its EXTH 121 value points to the boundary and it points to the shared images, fonts, etc. but everything else should be removable.
