I have a current gen paperwhite and I used to aquire overdrive ebooks in epub format, convert to mobi, and send them to my kindle in Calibre. Then, I read about how azw3 was more advanced than mobi for page layout/etc, so I started getting all my books in azw3/kf8 (being that I can't remove drm from kfx).

However, I later discovered there's a KFX output plugin in Calibre that can convert epub into kfx. Is it true that converting epub to kfx will give you "enhanced typesetting" on the kindle, and that using the original azw3 file won't? Basically, what I'm asking is, is it better downloading EPUB than AZW3? Does the EPUB have more features?

Thank you for your help!
