I downloaded the new Kindle Previewer 3 (Beta), which adds support for Enhanced Typesetting (KFX).

The list of file types it opens are: .kpf, .mobi, .azw, .epub, .htm, .html, .xhtml, .opf, .prc, .azw3, and .azw8. (azw8 is an alternate extension for kfx.)

There are some interesting file names in the previewer software. For example:
Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\lib\EpubToKFXConverter-1.0.jar

So it looks like there may be a way to convert our own books to KFX using this software. I am sure that there is a lot to be learned from it.

ETA: Kindle Package Format (.kpf) is the format produced by Kindle Textbook Creator.
