Now that is news to me. KF8 is still mobi, mobi8 for that matter. You can have both versions in a mobi container (mobi6 and mobi8). I don't really see the problem converting KF8 to old mobi. I have less problems with the old mobi books on my Kindle than with many kf8. The Kindle lacks one essential button, and that is the "disable publisher formating" button. Forcing a certain font on me, or forcing me to have to endure double-line spacing on the smallest setting is not cool. I will check out the tweak-book feature in Calibre, and see if that is enough to get rid of hard-coded fonts. If that is too much hassle though, I will go back to conversion even if it is a azw3 -> azw3 conversion to get rid of changed fonts. Conversion is a one click solution. If I wanted to reprogram my books before reading, I would have bought a do-it-yourself book.
