I don't convert KF8 files. I haven't even come across one. E-books downloaded from Amazon to Kindle used to be AZW or AZW3 files. Now they give me kfx files.

I always download books from Amazon to the pc because that way I get AZW3 files, which I convert into mobi and epub. I cannot convert kfx files. I keep every book in these three formats:

1. The AZW3 because it is the original file
2. The mobi because the Kindle can read it
3. The epub, because it's open source

Many of my books are not from Amazon and come either as mobi or epub files.
