A simple question about The Book of Mormon

It was convenience but it was also likely a desire to not change anything his father did so Ether and Moroni were the addenda. Moroni thought he finished the Book of Mormon (that's why Mormon 9 sounds like an ending: "And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant that their prayers may be answered according to their faith; and may God the Father remember the covenant which he hath made with the house of Israel; and may he bless them forever, through faith on the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."). Then Moroni decided to include a summary of the Jaredite records (sourced from the 24 plates Limhi's people found but also likely other material). He finished that and was still alive (Moroni 1:1 " Now I, Moroni, after having made an end of abridging the account of the people of Jared, I had supposed not to have written more, but I have not as yet perished") and still had some room on the plates so we included more material.
