I don't know where you plan to distribute it, but if you don't spend time around "normal" people, if you are thinking of doing it yourself, you may be in for a brutal shock.

This is a valid concern. However, my audience is fairly small, technical, and prefers DRM-free books. And if sideloading turns to be a huge problem, it is relatively easy to fix after the fact by publishing on Amazon.

Is there a way to glue KF7 and KF8 (generated from differently optimized epub sources) into a single mobi? Something like KindleUnpack, but in reverse (preferably through the command line).

And by the way, I figured out one way to get ET checkbox in Kindle Previewer. Pandoc-generated epub3 -> KindleGen -> mobi results in ET=off, however, Pandoc epub2 -> KindleGen -> mobi results in ET=on.
