In all fairness, giving a couple o' derns about readers who might buy your work in the K7 format for their older eink devices doesn't really require you to spend money. Would it kill you to brush up on some handy media-queries and take a glance at the results in KindlePreviewer set to emulate a K2 to see how things render? That's not really asking all the much of anyone, I don't think.

And I think that's a shame. Because people are likely buying them for those platforms in that format. It wouldn't cost you anything but a little bit of time to make sure you're not accidentally selling someone a lemon. *shrug*
