You are aware what the KFX format and Amazon's policy mean, aren't you?

Not only do they want to control book formats and distribution (even for classics, DRM-free books) it also helps to analyse buyers' behaviour.

I am really surprised that you seem to happily jump on the bandwagon. Especially considering how Amazon is introducing it.

Quote:
What is a story about a new Kindle e-book format, if Good e-Reader did not provide a scoop. Here is the deal. 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. Currently publishers don’t have a way to submit newer titles in KFX and the official Kindle Previewer tool does not support enhanced typesetting. Kindle for PC also does not include the new font,

so if you decide you want to strip the DRM from your books, you will be unable to do so with KFX. Calibre, a preferred e-book management tool also does not have support for KFX either.
