I looked at this book on my PW2 and I noticed that on the copyright page near the beginning all of the information is compressed vertically with no gaps between paragraphs, making it difficult to read. I verified that this book is in KFX format on my kindle.

I checked the same book using Kindle for PC and found the expected gaps between paragraphs. When I looked at the KF8 version of the book from K4PC using the calibre editor I saw that the expected gaps are produced using paragraphs containing a single non-breaking space. Somehow these get lost in the KFX version.

Has anyone noticed any other problem with KFX book rendering?
Did you try downloading it from your Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon using the "download and transfer using USB" option, and then looking at the kf8 file on your Paperwhite? I have seen cases where Kindle for PC renders things differently from an actual e-ink Kindle, even when they're using the same format.
