A discussion of KFX is central to the thread. In future, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the subject of the thread before trying to shut down discussion by declaring a post off-topic
Discussion about KFX does not inherently have nothing to do with this thread. In fact, as you so wisely pointed out, discussion about the singular control Amazon has over producing KFX, is inherently this thread.


Discussion of how aesthetically satisfying KFX is, has nothing to do with this thread.
As I have not heard so much as a token effort to explain how the aesthetics of KFX has to do with this thread, I will continue to think it has nothing to do with this thread.

It belongs in either the Kindle Formats subforum, or perhaps the Vent And Rant thread.

Not really sure where you are going with this.

Are you indicating you feel censored?
Here is the post you made in the thread where general discussion of KFX, both as a format and how it impacts ebook producers trying to put out a good product, was allowed to flourish for some time now:

So you criticize Amazon in the discussion about the format, and you discuss the format in the thread about criticizing Amazon, and you wonder why you get strong reactions...

Although I don't believe you have been censored, despite all that...
