Just pointing out what I think is the obvious.

If this was true, there's no reason it could not have been added the KF8. True, Amazon may be doing things we don't know about, but what we do know about could be done with KF8 instead of a new format.

Until we get more information saying that KF8 cannot do what Amazon is trying to do, then I'm still of the mind that KFX is an attempt to keep people living in a new walled garden.
