Something in the Kindle ereader or a kindle app has to read the KFX and then render the book the same appearance as azw/KF8. So while there isn't an archive with human readable content, it can't be losing anything or the book wouldn't look the same. I've compared the visual appearance of "direct by WiFi from Amazon KFX" on a PW3, with the "Download to PC, Transfer via USB for <device target>" which at last use was still and AZW and it looks identical. So obviously the KFX has two aims at least, stronger DRM and
dramatically reduce traffic cost for Amazon if someone has the 3G model of a Kindle. They'd not care about broadband + Wifi, or people using WiFi points with a mobile dongle, only their own account traffic. Obviously the KFX has not obvious archive text files, however it must have the same structure of content, styles, images and index.
