It is too bad that the Kindle Previewer 3 does not handle the .kfx extension for opening KFX files when all of Amazon's other apps and devices (that I am aware of) support it. The .azw8 extension is also widely supported, but I haven't tested it enough to know whether or not it could act as a replacement for .kfx everywhere.

Rather than changing the plugin to produce files with an .azw8 extension, I am going to release a small (Windows) program that allows files with a .kfx extension to be opened by the Previewer. With this you will be able to click on the "KFX" label in the book details panel in calibre and see the results of KFX conversion.
