You gotta stop being so black-and-white about everything. Time alters perceptions, memories, and procedures. When you look at a book and think that the bookmaker made it 'wrongly,' or used a left-hand-only blockquote, you have to look at when the book was made, to put the building into context.

But a left only margin was wrong then and it's still wrong now. The reason being is because the eBooks I am talking about are ePub and ePub never had a problem with a right margin. Also given that back before KF8, when the ePub was converted to Mobi for the Kindle, the right margin was ignored anyway, so it would not have been a problem had it been done properly for ePub. The other option is to make two CSS, one for the ePub to be read and one for the ePub to be converted.
Anyway, I do get it that sometimes things have to be done a certain way and that way becomes not the optimal way after software and hardware moves on.
Given that Sony was able to fit a version of ADE onto a Sony PRS-500, I would think that Amazon could add KF8 to the older Kindles and then Mobi could fade away.
