On further investigation only the Kindle Fire reads the new KF8 format so it sounds like Kindle Previewer is making the file as KF8. Using Kindlegen manually and watching what it does I see it says "The file format is V8".

This book is very straight-forward - is there any way I can get Kindlegen to produce files that can be opened be all Kindles? I appreciate Amazon will be offering updates to some Kindles to read the new format but there will always be plenty of people who don't update or don't have a new enough model and it seems a shame they will miss out on this title!

Or where could I download the version prior to 2.4 that presumably makes v7 files? Maybe this sort of thing (clickable endnotes) is not supported in previous versions?

thanks
