As for enhanced typesetting, the improvements do make a big difference, but only so much as as that they have finally caught up with their epub counterparts. Sticking with Kobo from now, as long as they don't screw up the QC on the hardware of their latest device! Take all my money!
So, just to be clear, the book you are showing on the Kindle isn't using the .kfx format that includes the enhanced typesetting. Is that correct?
