Amazon doesn't actually say they have a new eBook format (KFX). They don't say exactly say that Amazon needs to convert eBooks to KFX in order to enable typesetting. They make this very confusing. Most people would read this and think all Amazon eBooks have the new enhanced typesetting. Amazon is being very snarky when it comes to enhanced typesetting. Amazon should have made the typesetting work with KF8 downloaded from Amazon. Basically,Amazon is rather misleading with the new rendering engine.

New—All-new typesetting engine lays out words just as the author intended for beautiful rendering of pages. With improved character spacing and the addition of hyphenation, justification, kerning, ligatures, and drop cap support, our best-in-class typography helps you read faster with less eyestrain. Show me

Enjoy reading with larger font sizes without compromising your reading experience. Page layout and margins automatically adapt to work well at even the largest font sizes. The new typography and layout improvements are available on over half a million books, including many best sellers, with thousands more being added every week.
