Some of my criticism is, that this community sometimes to a fault, wan't to embrace old standards - "because they are still allowed to understand those and tinker with them".
I am talking about the future, and that for the normal Amazon user this is changing very quickly.
We are both right. But for the majority of Amazon customers your usecase is not how they get in touch with what we formally called a "Book" on Kindles. Now its a blob. We never should fully be able to understand.

I really had no clue that you were talking about a very specific format.
Kindles read other formats as well.
How is it a blob? I am assuming if I do use Amazon's ecosystem and grab say The Phantom of the Opera and Geronimo Breach that Amazon will send me a readable file.
Now it may not be all fancy and stuff, and have hyphenation (whatever that does), guessing it puts in hyphens so every line is identical. But I bet I can still read it.
Are you saying other formats look like this
note I will use dashes for spaces due to the forum correcting the spacing)
The-dog-- - j-u-m-p-e-d- - - over----- t--h--e-------mountain.
I have never seen that. Now I do know the bigger the font the bigger the spaces.
Or do you mean incremental gaps that very few people will notice?
