I sit corrected again, and thanks.

But how many Kindle owners are aware of kindlefix.py and capable of applying it?

Amazon is trying to lock you into them as the vendor. There are ways around it, but most Kindle users won't be aware of them. (And to be fair, Amazon has a huge amount of content for the Kindle. How often might you need to resort to kindlefix.py?)
