Hi all

Got a question about a title we are investigating. The print job relies heavily on colour images and some design features that means it seems a bit pointless putting on old Kindle devices. The time involved wouldn't be worth it (IMHO). However it would fine on Kindle Fire etc using KF8 files.

I know it is possible to unpack a .mobi file and separate out the old mobi and new KF8 files - is there anything stopping us offering the KF8 file for download, specifying that it is for colour Kindle devices only (which are obviously all KF8 compatible)? The file won't be selling on Amazon, it would be downloaded from either the client's website or ours.

thanks,
Iain
