You got it entirely backwards: software support document formats, not the other way around.
And no, Kindle Paperwhite is not Amazon's flagship e-reader. The first gen Paperwhite was released way back in 2012. I don't expect any company to add support for new doc formats for e-readers sold clearly a decade ago. The features specifically mentioned in the article were pinch and zoom, which as you might imagine are CPU and graphical-intensive and out of scope for BW readers designed to paginate through reflowable books.
- rmorey 6y agoI think the thrust of the article is: the author tried to follow standard KDP practices, using the recommended format and got burned because: 1) That format isn't support by (imo) the most important devices in the Kindle line. 2) There was no recourse to change the format after publication 3) There was no recourse to provided those that bought the book a refund I'm not claiming serious malfeasance on Amazon's part, just bad documentation and publisher/customer experience
