What I don't get is why not dump Mobi and release firmware for the older devices that handle KF8 and not Mobi? Heck, Sony was able to fit ePub into the 500.I don't see why Amazon cannot fit KF8 in the older Kindles. If they have to remove Mobi, then all that needs to be done is the Amazon Mobi eBook be download again.
As for Apple, they did screw lots of people with the crappy 1st Gen iPad. Even when a lot of apps were compatible with whatever version iOS, they still didn't run properly. So how do you support iBooks from a 1st gen iPad and the current version iBooks at the same time with different issues/fixes/etc.?
