One thing I know from decades of supporting tech, is that the less choices people have in their day-to-day usage of tech the more productive they are - in this instance productive would be books read per year.

If you normally want old and occasionally new you could remove AZW3 from available output formats. and change the MOBI File type rather than Output type. I venture most Joe and Jane's would prefer OldKindle and NewKindle rather than MOBI, AZW3, KF8... alphabet soup

So... what do you think of my improvement on your suggestion? ...
