If you reread my post - it is carefully worded around the fact, that we now can produce (still not fully understand) - .kfx files as well.
It was a nice - FU (sorry, harsh  ) - towards Amazons ambitions to keep a wrap on the "feature exclusive" thing.
But we still dont understand the format fully (its not completely reverse engineered - and since the maintainer currently is still working solely on a trial an error basis, it will be hard to get to that point).
Besides that - there still is the issue of the "new DRM" - that has to be discussed separately but until now hasnt - because the entire format was closed. And the issue that the format isn't fit for archival purposes (one way conversion only).
Then we can tackle the issue that until the converter doesn't come with calibre - distribution and actual usage will be minimal - and because the plugin is based on closed source converters by Amazon - this currently simply isnt possible.
Also it took us (well, him.. - but structurally spoken) - more than a year to reach this point. When does kfxi launch, btw? |
I read your entire last post.
One word comes to mind: PROOF.
My recommendation is if you don't like Amazon, don't support them in any way.
And please show me just one retailer that doesn't have it's own brand.
