had at least few Conversion Errors maybe like 1 so far from KEPUB to the KFX Format, also prefer it over the RB Format since that one made all ebooks black and white without color images, so now if
Basically KEPUB input to KFX output works great;with, only few Conversion Errors so far
correction in which I had one ebook that got an error from KEPUB input to KFX output, but still prefer it over RB format, I just have to work with them in different inputs to get the few that still get Conversion Errors fixed in any case.
also when using kepub as the input if you don't unselect strip kobo spans it removes the images with that option turned on I noiced that it loses the images in the ebook if it selects strip kobo spans
one fix for some Conversion Errors would be to use styling tab, with filter style information to select what style information you want completely removed like say if the problem is in floats or padding but I am guessing disabling from of the CSS may fix them from getting conversion errors on converting but I am guessing about that anyway it may or may not help. Below information from the ebook that failed to convert from KEPUB to AZW8 ext/ format kfx, so I just have to play with the input format until I found one that works, disabling the CSS in padding and floats and fonts didn't help with this ebook in any case.
Here text below from log of failed ebook if that helps again remember I replaced all kfx with azw8 and it works for most of my ebooks, but a few.
