Yeah, but you have to wait for them to KFXify the book, they sometimes don't bother, and if they don't, they don't tell you why not. Some of the requirements appear to be undocumented.

If even the KK supports discretionary hyphens, I think I'm happy (anyone not updated can't connect to Amazon by now, thus nobody is realistically likely to buy new books via that channel. Yeah, they might sideload, but these books are not targetted at the sort of people who read this forum! In practice, I suspect zero sideloads will ever happen, and I'm not damaging the look of the book for the sake of that sort of thing.)
