The mention of PDF as a source is a bit disturbing. The hidden contents of KFX is probably very unlike previous e-book formats. |
I would expect this and don't find it disturbing. Magazines are typically released in PDF format by the publisher if they have a eBook version at all. They are similar to text books which get the same treatment from publishers. Amazon has already released a AZW4 format that is a mobi wrapper for PDF content. However it is likely inadequate for many devices. I am not surprised that this was the impetus to drive a new format.
