Accurately Previewing a Kindle Book Pre-Sale

[Rand Brittain]

The book actually came out several weeks ago and looked pretty much exactly like what Kindle Previewer 3.X indicated it would, which more or less settled the question.

Good! So, now that we've all managed to forget whatever the hell it was that we were arguing about in the first place (smile), it's all settled. BUENO!

So, you want to make an older-style, "KF8" AZW-mobi, from Calibre, to what, reinforce the idea that it won't work?

Am I missing something here, Wolfie? If you want visual and visceral reinforcement that it won't work, just put the ePUB on KP2.9.x.

And while you're at it, would you like me to send you a hammer, so that you can smash yourself in the head with it? Because it feels good when you stop?

What I want is a previewer that works as poorly as a Kindle.

KP 2.9x previewer, DX emulation. Works a treat.
