The process I used to convert that one book from KDF to KFX involved quite a number of manipulations through trial and error. It is far from being something that anyone else could use. (Many attempts crashed the indexer on my Kindle.)

I haven't found any hidden ability of the Previewer to directly produce KFX files. Amazon claims that it isn't possible.

Q22. How can I side load and preview my book with Enhanced Typesetting on my Kindle device or application?
A22. You can’t side load your books with Enhanced Typesetting. You can, however, side load the Mobi file without Enhanced Typesetting. You may find this Mobi file under "My Kindle Books" folder.
I am waiting to see what changes Amazon makes to the Previewer in their next release. Perhaps they will relent and add the ability to produce KFX themselves. It would certainly be easy for them to do.


ETA: On the other hand they might take steps to make it difficult or impossible to use the previewer to generate KFX, such as encrypting the KDF file.
