No, this won't do. That is not at all a reason that Kindles don't have this problem.

Kindles really don't have this problem at all, even for books that aren't split into nice sub-260KB chunks internally. The original Kindle didn't have this problem, and that used Mobi format files that were just one great big block of HTML 3.2ish text.

The Kindle rendering software has always been able to cope with rendering parts of large blocks of HTML, and that hasn't changed with the switch to AZW3 format.

Mind you, the same is now true, I think, of more recent versions of Adobe's RMSDK, so the 260JB limit only really affects older devices.
