Yes, I am aware of the hypenate_this! plugin, very neat work and I used it when kfx wasn't available, but even in that case: azw3 with hypenation take more space on disk (not important as I keep my books on epub format in my library), I have to manually run the plugin on each book unlike KFX conversion which can be set to automatically run upon copying to kindle, and some times the hypenation won't be correct. So at the end of the day you end up with a very different (and inferior) reading experience with azw3. And even in the first case, sometimes you have odd line ending. This, in turn, makes the pages look ugly on the kindle, because either you resort to have (very) uneven/inconsistent spacing between a word and another, or maybe even worse, you accept having "left-alignment" on PW instead of justified text as you have in a printed page. Second, kfx formatting is just better: maybe you english readers don't notice it that much because you don't use it (but I might be very wrong on that), but absurdly enough, azw3 has no automatic hypenation! It has to be like "hardcoded" into the file - which in turn might be hard when you do searches I think - or you must resort to do without hypenation. And KFX advantages are not at all marginal to me.įor starters, KFX has ligatures, which azw3 doesn't have: kfx just look better on paperwhite, closer to a printed page. It's just that, at the end of the day, these are all instruments to let me do what I like the most, that is: reading. but it's fair, not arguing on what is best on that part. If I had any interest in that, I would just use epub and that's it. Not arguing to what is "closer to industry standard", I will just say that "close" is "close", from the ethical point of view. Then later many of us switched from reading on Kindle to reading on Kobo (including ebooks bought on Amazon). We stopped using Whispernet on bought books years ago (which was KFX) and instead used "Download and Transfer" which gives azw3 (except some old content is mobi/prc). ![]() Uploaders to Amazon don't create KFX, that uses docx or epub. Main advantages are being able to start reading during slow WiFi/Mobile download and for Amazon, more adaptive encryption. ![]() The reader advantages of KFX are marginal. Use azw3, it's closer to open and industry standard epub. ![]()
