I rather read the Wikipedia entry for "Kindle File Formats", and wonder - why a rewrite of the actual marketing line Amazon gave on release is all thats considered "important to know" for the mass public.

In August 2015, all the Kindle e-readers released within the previous two years were updated with a new typesetting and layout engine that adds hyphens, kerning and ligatures to the text; e-books that support this engine require the use of the "Kindle Format 10" (KFX) file format.[7] E-books that support the enhanced typesetting format are indicated in the e-book's description on its product page.

Todays "public knowledge" seems more and more to be created by press statements that 500 people repeat and not much else. Certainly not by following open discussions.
But enlighten me, and offer me your insights on how "issues might just go away" - without praying to a deity. Doesnt have to be god, I'm flexible in that regard.
Also I'd actually welcome you bringing up arguments, instead of just hinting at some that apparently exist. I'd be interested, although I doubt, that the "community factor" can fix systemic issues that were embedded in the file format by design two years ago.
What do you suggest? That we popularize our own .kfx?
A better one?
Or should we finally start forming the thought, that people maybe should not buy into the Amazon ecosystem anymore - with this being its current form?
