Yeah, but even if I dig it up, it will likely be true for only 5 minutes, until it changes again. ;-/

If that is true, that it has to go through Amazon PW. They could at least mention it in the AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf. That PDF explains how to put audio but on page 74 it says that the audio tag is not 'Supported on KF8-Enabled Devices & Apps'. I'm not sure what to make of that, maybe they are just trying to say that audio/video .mobi files do not support kf8 functionality which is true.

<audio> Specified an audio content No
Well, we know--don't we? Someone remind me if my trolley has left the tracks, rather than the station--that you have to put video/audio content in an "enhanced PRC" file, that it only works in a KF7 book, essentially. Guys? Anyone remember that? My brain needs brains right now, it's utterly discombobulated with the BS on my staging server, which is driving me to distraction.

Do we all think that you actually have to load a PRC file (extension) to the devices, rather than a "mobi?" Does anyone besides me recall that, or am I having a <mumble, but sounded like "senior"> moment?

And as far as putting stuff in the PG's, don't forget--the folks that can even use that functionality to begin with upload via FTP, so all their work goes through the PW in the first place, and NONE of them would be selling books via their own websites. So...nyah, you're right, they should put that in there. Urgh...off to HTML/CSS/Bootstrap hell.....

Thanks,
Hitch
