from calibre I converted my epub format book into rb format then pick the rb format input to the kfx format output then converted it, that seems to keep it from getting that
Conversion Errors from kfx format, if I tried the epub format to kfx format I keep getting Conversion Errors problem, but no errors going from RB format to kfx format, I hope this helps in any case.

It seems to work best if I convert an epub format into the rb format, then selecting the rb format to kfx format, that seems to of gotten me past the converting bugs that happen when you try epub to kfx format, it keep crashing with the Conversion Errors, but when it took the rb format and converted it to epub in the process of outputting it to kfx format it seem to of gotten no conversion errors, at least that worked for one ebook so far, I hope that helps if some people keep getting Conversion Errors like me, I am just playing with the format of kfx format since its so new, it seem like an fun thing to try for ebooks on my kindle paperwhite 2 device, to see if they really look better than normal azw3 formats or not. I hope this information helps , it seems once you convert it to the rb format it removes any errors you may have with an epub to kfx format, again it seems to make the epub more compatible when first converting it to rb format from epub format, then selecting in caliber the rb format as the input then the kfx format as the output format under calibre again I hope this helps users who are having the problems with Conversion Errors from kfx format. I got some errors that the main page doesn't even show with epub format to kfx format, that's why I was trying to find an easy way to make most of my ebooks into kfx format it check it out in any case.

the only thing I need to work on is getting the thumbnail image showing up, and the font size correctly set in the kfx format since I need to set the font right under rb format , also I had to manually copy the kfx format to my kindle paperwrite 2 device, since the calibre cannot transfer both thumbnail image or kfx format to the device yet, I guess that because the format is too new, and they have not made an transfer mode yet for the ebooks, otherwise the ebook file seems to load fine under the device, I think the an extracting zip plugin for the thumbnail option I have yet to try the plugin yet, otherwise my method of converting the files seems to work.
