Currently publishers don’t have a way to submit newer titles in KFX and the official Kindle Previewer tool does not support enhanced typesetting. Amazon has developed a tool that they are using in-house called kfxgen that they use to convert the old e-book format to the new one. What is a story about a new Kindle e-book format, if Good e-Reader did not provide a scoop. Instead, you will simply download the book once again, but in the new Amazon KFX format. Your purchases are safely stored in the cloud, so you won’t lose access to them. What you need to do, is delete the e-book on your Kindle and download it again.
Here is the real kicker, many of the e-books you already have on your Kindle might show KFX on the product description page, but still is not providing you with the most robust experience. There’s a new label that shows if enhanced typesetting has been enabled. If you want to find out if a specific title will give you the optimal reading experience you look on the book’s description page at Amazon. In the past they used AZW and MOBI for the standard book, but they new one is called KFX.Īmazon claims there are around 100,000 e-books on their website that their titles in the new KFX format.
In order to really take advantage of the new format, Amazon had to develop a new e-book format. This new font was exclusively developed for e-reading in mind. A few months ago Amazon rolled out the Bookerly font to its line of iOS apps and the Kindle Paperwhite 3.
