Yes, well...

I like to keep any tools I can in the toolbox. We get a fair number of what I would call "coffee-table" books. We have had to resort, in some instances, to actually reverting back to MBPC, in order to make a prc version (so as to massively reduce the mobi filesize for upload/conversion as a commercial product), lest the client end up paying more in delivery fees than s/he could charge. Naturally, this idea was interesting to me, along those lines.

And, yes, I'd be fairly hesitant before submitting a "tinkered" mobi (whether using strip or one of the other hacks) to KDP, because I've had some pretty wild stuff happen with even MINOR tinkering. But--it never hurts to ask. ;-)

Thanks,
Hitch
