The Kindle Previewer Q&A now states:

Quote:
Q6. My book is not compatible with Enhanced Typesetting. What should I do to make it compatible with Enhanced Typesetting?

A6. We are actively working to provide guidance so that you can ensure that your book supports Enhanced Typesetting. Meanwhile, we continue to expand the capabilities of Enhanced Typesetting and we will automatically enable it for your book on the store when possible. You need not resubmit your book. When Enhanced Typesetting is enabled for your book, you will see "Enhanced Typesetting: Enabled" on that book’s detail page.
I noticed that Kindle Previewer version 3.15 has a hidden feature called YJ Coach. That provides guidance in fixing problems that prevent books from converting to KFX and supporting Enhanced Typesetting. I assume that this feature will be enabled for use in a future version of the Previewer and at that time the advice will change from "wait for us to improve ET conversion" to "fix the problems in your damn book".



As a side note, the Q&A also states:

Quote:
Q13. How can I side load and preview my book with Enhanced Typesetting on my Kindle device or application?

A13. You can’t side load your books with Enhanced Typesetting. You can, however, side load the Mobi file without Enhanced Typesetting. ...
That is true using Amazon's software, but the KFX Output calibre plugin allows you to do just that! (The next version will also capture the hidden guidance mentioned above.)



And as a side-side note, I am close to releasing a KFX Input calibre plugin that will convert from KFX to other e-book formats.
