Mobi = Mobipocket
Dual format Mobi = Mobi & KF8
KF8 = KF8
I don't want to argue. But if you do disagree with any of that, please point me where I am wrong. |
Fine. You show me a file with a .kf8 file extension, and I'll let this go. There is NO SUCH THING. In fact, Wolfie, I would argue that there is no MOBIpocket/prc format remaining, because it doesn't and cannot stand alone, not any longer. MOBI (KF7) was
NEVER MOBI; it was .prc. Hell, I remember when purists would call it KF6, for a variety of reasons.
So:
where's the file format called .kf8? Don't know about you, Wolfie, but I build files called .mobi. Period. Does it have KF7 and KF8 inside it? Yes. Those are TYPES of MOBI--not standalone file formats, in the scope of what's properly called a "format." A "format" of file is a file extension--not a conceptual or actual difference between TYPES of that format.
There are searchable PDFs, and the old-style image-only PDFs. Do you have two different names for those? There are 2007 docx files, 2010 docx files, 2013 and 2016. They are all different. YOu think those are all different "formats?" NO, they are not. They are all .docx files--with different and less/more advanced formatting features.
You are being obdurate. You're just doing it to
be obdurate. I don't give a crap if Amazon refers to it as a "file format," because, in truth, it's
not. Thee only "KF8" you get, when you crack open an AZW file is in the name of a folder.
NOT a file format.
And unless and until Amazon decides to create an actual format, named ".kf8" as they
have created ".kfx," I'm going to refer to it as MOBI, all pedantry aside.

Can you please tell Alan that he's wrong and Adobe Garamond (no semi-bold) is too light on a PW3?

No. We embed Garamond all the time. (At one time, we thought it was too light. We've altered WHICH font we embed.) But we know what we're doing.
