If your device does not support KF8, you will get an azw or mobi file (KF7). KF8 supports font bolding and other nice features, so you might consider it worthwhile the specify your new device as the target for download.
Ah, good to know. Was completely clueless about this. Thanks.

Didn't know this either. Does this ONLY effect the 10th generation Basic? If so, I guess it's probably coming to all newer Kindles eventually?
