Or 1 to 6. But AFAIK the Kindle starts with version 7 of Mobipocket ebooks.
The oldest Mobipocket format seems to be one of the two pdb formats used on the Palm PDA. The Mobipocket app for my Palm Z22 PDA reads either pdb format Calibre can create, but not .prc from my Mobipocket creator on XP, though all the Kindles I have can read the .prc but not the pdb, which is pretty much just plain text with a TOC and extra space, no indent, on paragraph breaks which is annoying on a 160 x 160 pixel screen.
Even ancient Sony eink with LRF was a big advance on Palm PDAs. Win CE PDAs and Symbian phones with Mobipocket to read the ebooks.
The 5" Sony PRS-350 is superior to any Kindle without KF8 and to the Kindle Basic. The Sony series before that had the optional upgrade from LRF to epub.
