Doing conversion with the KFX Output plugin outside of calibre produces a different result in some cases because it bypasses all of the manipulations that can sometimes be done by the calibre conversion pipeline, such as changing the cover, table of contents, and formatting.

If you make your KFX file outside of calibre and want to import it then having the KFX Input plugin installed will allow calibre to extract the metadata from the imported book so that the book shows up nicely in your book list.

However, as I wrote previously there is no need to import it into calibre just to copy it to your Fire tablet. You can copy the KFX file to the proper folder on the Fire yourself.
