Well, I have been warned. I will try buying one book from my Linux PC. If I receive a kfx, this first book will also be the last.

About "incompatible formats", I understand that this is only a user problem, not an Amazon one, at least as long as the kfx stays as it is...
At this point, if you specify "Transfer via computer" when you buy the book, you will NOT get a kfx, no matter which device you own.
