Mobi is an obsolete file format. KF8 is not.

Which is irrelevant, as that's a KF7 file. Right?
Nope. It is KF8. You know, the one that has a .azw3 extension in Calibre.

Oh, yes, it does. I"m pretty sure everyone on the planet has considered the idea of trying to make lunch money writing porn. But my understanding from the purveyors thereof on the various author fora is that their profitability per title is not really enough to pay for commercial formatting, even el-cheapo Calibre-type formatting. There are, like traditional categories of literature, exceedingly few that make it like 50SOG; most toddle along, a few bucks at a time on their, er, stories.

Kind Unlimited is chock full of really bad porn. The thing I really dislike is porn that trying to be Fantasy or science fiction and when you look on Amazon for Fantasy or Science Fiction, you get bombarded with really crappy porn.

I think we (MR regulars) should get together and write a really bad porn book and put it up on Kindle Unlimited.
