No. If you load Kindle Create with a Word doc, as you've described above, then you will always get a reflowable ebook -- not a KFX ebook. In such a reflowable ebook all text will not be represented as images but will be formatted as html text.

William, I am 99% sure that's wrong. When you load KC with a Word file, and build an eBook therefrom, you'll get a KFX file. A reflowable KFX, yes, but a KFX file nonetheless.

But if you load a PDF into Kindle Create you will get a KFX ebook. This only applies to a KPF file generated from a PDF by Kindle Create or Kindle Text Book Creator. In such a file every text page is a max-page-size jpeg image with no embedded html text.

Yes, and I agree here that you get Print Replica from a PDF-->KC or KTC process. And yes, that's essentially images of text.

I also used JP Howell's KFX Input plugin with Calibre. I converted both a KPF file(as KFX) and another KPF file(as a reflowable ebook) to epub format and had a look. This also seems to confirm what I've said above.

I freely admit, I don't use KC. No interest in it, as it's a...well, to my eyes, a lesser process for the building of ebooks, and the code is godawful. But I feel that there's a logic piece missing here.
If you build a reflowable ebook in KFX format, from a KC Word file (for a typical, reflowable eBook) you should get a pretty normal ePUB, right? Albeit one with the icky coding. But
it's STILL a KFX file.
