I downloaded On Basilisk Station and I see hyphenation occurring, so I assume that's the "enhanced typesetting" engine. Bookerly looks nice, IMO.
(Any way to turn off the hyphenation, if you don't want it?)
EDIT: Also, I really appreciate the work you're doing on analyzing the KFX format. It's inspiring; I may end up trying my hand there as well. I downloaded your python script, but I admit I'm not really familiar with the language. Anything I write is more likely to be in Go.

No, I
do mean 4.9. The current version is 4.10, not 4.1. (Version numbers often use a period as a separator, not a decimal point.)
The user has no control over hyphenation for KFX books (as JSWolf has already pointed out), with the exception that at huge font sizes hyphenation is disabled. You can disable all of the enhanced typesetting features, including hyphenation, by downloading the book from Amazon's website in AZW3/KF8 format and side-loading that copy onto your device.
It would be nice if more information about KFX came to light, but as long as Amazon continues to support downloading from their website in AZW3/KF8 format it is not urgent. I don't find the enhanced typesetting to be enough of an improvement that I miss it for non-Amazon purchased books.
ETA: I see upon further reading that you are looking at hyphenation control from the point of view of an author/publisher rather than a reader.
