calibre does not support "Add books to library" for books in KFX format. It pops up a a dialog suggesting that the book should be downloaded directly from Amazon instead. That was the only option before the existence of this plugin, and even now doing that will result in a book format that more closely matches what the publisher provided to Amazon.

I have no idea of Kovid's current thoughts on this matter and whether or not a patch that removes this restriction would be acceptable to him. He may be reluctant to have functionality in calibre that is dependent on the installation of an optional plugin.
