Hi,

On the good news front, I used mobi_unpack.py's ability to split out a standalone kf8 ebook and while splitting, to remove the DATP section and its pointer in the header.

Using KindlePreviewer, I was able to open and read the standalone KF8 even through it was missing its DATP section. All links and things appear to work.

So we should not have to worry about reversing the DATP section at all for KF8's.
