If you read the KFX file format thread, you will read the posts of a book producer highly frustrated by Amazon's apparent disregard for how his books come out once put through the alleged kfxgen process, and the fact that they don't come out well.
And KFX is a closed format in this sense. No one else can produce them (and therefore test it, at least not directly and quickly) and AFAIK book producers do not have the option to say NO KFX. And according to the poster I'm referencing, Amazon don't seem overly concerned about it.
