I'm deducing, from the available evidence. If a KFX (yes, sorry, typo) file is delivered to a device--which we've seen--it has to exist
somewhere. Sure, arguably, it could be converted or rendered on the fly--I would never say that's impossible--but the more likely scenario is that the KFX, like other formats, is being introduced during the upload processing, or, the PW (Publishing Workflow), which is everything that happens after you push "publish and save" and before the first buyer clicks "buy."
So...that's my personal deduction. I mean, you were on that thread with me:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263902 . Amazon has pretty much always put all their elements in a single basket, so to speak, so, yes, I think that the KFX is added in the Publishing Workflow. Just like the AZK-for-iOS AZW file.
If the question is, do I see it in the existing MOBIs built with Amazon tools, at the creation end, i.e., Previewer et al,
no: I don't see that. TBH, I hadn't started looking yet.
So...I'm making some assumptions. I have no concrete evidence of anything, other than having seen the delivery of KFX-enabled files to my own devices.
