Since KF8 on the Touch (with firmware 5.1) is buggy in a big way, is it possible to download Mobi eBooks from Amazon instead of KF8 using the Touch? Are users of the Touch (with 5.1) going to be playing a guessing game and hoping that what they are downloading will work not knowing if it's KF8 or Mobi they'll be using?

Has anyone else come up against any bugs in 5.1 that are preventing you from reading eBook(s) from Amazon?
So, Jon. Have you tested these failures on your Kindle Touch? Oh, wait. You hate Amazon, Kindles and MOBI format so really this just another attempt to prove to yourself and the world that anybody who owns a Kindle is a fool.

You really need to get over it. Those of us who own Kindles are perfectly happy and really don't all want to switch to a *nicer* reader.
