So is the idea to still have publishers and authors do the mastering in azw3 which then gets converted - but hey, we all know why Amazon wont be releasing any authoring tools this time around.

Also - if it isnt apparent by now, no - .kfx certainly is not a "delivery format" - its a file format, no one but Amazon is allowed to create anymore. Thought I repeat that one again...
How is that off-topic? It relates to Amazon's control of the ebook production and distribution process. The post is on-topic. Did you not read it?
