So lets see you trying to make this seem, like none of the following was part of the .kfx story.
Lets see you fulfill the naive promise of "kfx is just the new kf8", that people like you gave the entire public, when it actually mattered.
This is, what came out of it.
"Thank you, but couln't it be more easy."
"Yes we read the
- not usable for archival purposes
- original publishers intent or formating not discernable
- Amazons formating decision interpreted as best as we can after two years, by guessing
- DRM always being part of it - so distribution or even an open association with the format is hard for every open source software project
- if it fails, it fails, because there is no notion of any debugable user facing process in the entire format anymore
- varying in content, depending on the device you ar viewing it on
- no actual single file format anymore
- not even metadata given
- covers only displayed, if the book is available for purchase on Amazon
- and we hear the person that just spent the better part of two years reverse engineering this mess saying, that we should not use this format - and his work if we dont absolutely have to, but we dont think that our behavior in cheering for the format as "great because new" has been in any way problematic."
"But could we get more easy?"
("I wonder why he sounds so pissed..."
Also, I actually wrote about more than just feelings, but thank you for reducing four paragraphs of statements to - this.)
Why don't want you talk about the aspects that an opened .kfx format has brought to the public? Why do you want to still hide behind "but amazon still allows use of legacy format books via backchannels" feelgood story? At what point can we actually look at the facts and ramifications and actually start to form a public consensus on "if that thing Amazon did, was good, or not"?
Should I give you six more months? Too soon?
