It's also well known that Fixed Layout ebooks produced from these apps will not work on KF7 or ereaders with small screens -- ie mobile phones. These Fixed Format ebooks will only work on KF8. So what you are inferring by saying that Kindle will not allow ebooks for sale unless they are formatted in both KF7 & KF8 is simply not true.

Mobi does not do fixed layout. So saying that these fixed layout books are Mobi is wrong. You said so yourself. "only work on KF8" means it's no Mobi as you first said.
I was not thinking about fixed layout books but the standard reflowable books as in a novel. But if you are selling for eInk Kindles, then in most cases, you do have to deal with Mobi & KF8. There's no choice to deal with one or the other.
