True, true!

That's what I meant. I'm tired today.

I do blame a lot of formatting issues on the mobi7 file format...I was building a fairly long list of grievances before KF8 came along). Thankfully Calibre does a good enough job of keeping formatting with epub --> AZW3, because ePub --> mobi was atrocious.

I say that because I just downloaded a sample of Atlas Shrugged (the last time I had tried was a year ago or so) and it looks perfect. It seems to me that when they released azw3, a lot of the early adopters were simply converting mobi7 to azw3 and that didn't really solve anything. Now that publishers go from source format --> azw3, they preserves formatting a lot better. I experienced this with a lot of the classics (20k Leagues, Treasure Island, ATOTC, War and Peace etc).
