Sure enough, most of my books do indeed have hyphenation (and it's not bad). So the KFX file MUST be delivered to me, right?

Okay, I suppose it could be on a separate shelf in Jeff Bezos's pool house, and his pool boy pulls it down for delivery to me.

I'm pretty sure it's not in the converted "mobi" that's available to us at Step 7 in the publishing process. So it must be added in the publishing workflow (if it is added -- not every one of my books is so designated) or later. (A little sweatshop out behind the pool house, lots of undocumented relatives of the pool boy?)

I'm enchanted by this whole KFX thing, and I'm sorry to see the KFX thread gone inactive. I wish I had the chops to pick at it and unravel it.
Well, if you're saying that your step-7 mobis do NOT have the same hyphenation capabilities, then, yes, I'd say that that confirms that the KFX is being added in the PW. If it's only in the upload, you ought to see it in the Step-7 mobi. As you are not, KFX-capabilities/format/??? must be added in the PW.
