And then, gods help you if you're a DIY'er without an iPad, you got bupkus for seeing the accursed thing. Fortunately, we of course have one of the little paperweights here, but man...as I said, it's a PITA. And the mobi-->K4iOS is an unreliable preview, I'm sorry to say; you have to use the .azk to really see what the final product will look like.

n.b.: have absolutely NO idea if the online/upload previewer works in this area, either.

... In response to your statement that you cannot email/dropbox stuff to Kindle4iOS.

Which seems an interesting way of shooting themselves in the foot. Then again, I believe Kindle4Android doesn't tell the system it can handle .mobi files, either. You cannot open .mobis from Dropbox, say, and open in the Kindle app.

I dunno, they seem to be doing a lot of weird stuff lately. The only guarantee is that buying the book from then will work, maybe that tells us something?
