Yes, I wish that Amazon had found a way to nuke old-MOBI. yes, I wish I didn't have to make that stuff. But dammit...

Thing is, I do think it's possible to fit KF8 into most of those old Readers and have a lot less people bothered by the demise of new Mobi eBooks. Sony was able to fit a version of RMSDK into the old PRS-500 and that was released before the Kindle.

Yup, it's been nearly 11 years and I'm still livid over them screwing me over on my damned brand-new first-gen iPad, turning it into a $1600 brick pretty quickly. I'm not going to forget that, ever. I'm fortunate--I could afford it, and all that but I cannot imagine what someone would do who couldn't have afforded to address it some other way. (To this day, if I need any Apple product for testing, of any kind, I buy used directly from people who aren't paying Apple for anything. No refurbs, reconditioned, none of that. No ducats to Apple from me in any way I can manage. )

It turns out that the original iPad was not fit for purpose. Not enough RAM for it to do much of anything. It was a total waste of money. Apple should have given all buyers a free upgrade to an iPad 2. These days, they are keeping some of the older hardware alive and not killing it off like they used to. The iPhone 6s is able to runt he current version of iOS and if Apple was killing off older hardware, the 6s would be dead now.
