Falkor and MOP

jhowell · 01-23-2021, 06:59 PM

For a while now I have seen the code name "falkor" associated with some new kind of Kindle content. I am curious whether anyone else has heard of this and might know what it refers to.

Unrelated, I have also seen mention that the MOP format is starting to be deprecated in favor of YJOP. MOP (aka azw4) is PDF encapsulated in a MOBI container and YJOP is PDF in a KFX container. These formats are typically used for fixed-layout Kindle textbooks.

That makes sense given Amazon's misplaced zeal for DRM and thus KFX, even when a publisher has requested no DRM.

It looks like Falkor may have been the codename for the newly announced Kindle Vella.
