KF8 (aka azw3) format in most cases holds the book in the form originally sent to Amazon by the publisher with only minor modification. It can usually be converted to standard EPUB format by just extracting the html contained within it.
That is not the same thing as the original MOBI (aka azw) format which is based on an old html standard.
KFX is a highly processed binary format and conversion of it to more standard formats is based on my trial and error efforts. Even the best result will be missing some of the formatting details that were originally provided to Amazon by the publisher.

That is a known problem with sideloaded books in KFX format. See the documentation for the KFX Output plugin for possible work arounds.
