Admittedly, I am late to the .kfx party and am scrambling to catch up. With Calibre v3.9, KFX output plugin v1.12.0 and Kindle Previewer v3.15 I have successfully converted a few epubs but attempts to view them fail with "Unsupported file extension: .kfx." I've read the FAQ's, Wiki, searched the forum threads here, as well as Google and blogs. Everything discusses the conversion but not the viewing.

I saw one small reference in an older thread that advised renaming the .kfx file to .azw8, which did not work (at least for me). For now, I'm sticking to azw3.

Might someone kindly point me to a source where I can learn what I need to do in order to view the converted .kfx files in Calibre?

Thank you.
