Nope.

I think it's definitively a good idea. It should be added to Android too.

About KFX, for what I know it's not HTML+CSS anymore. It's simply JSON:

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/KFX

I think this is an absurdity. HTML and CSS are mature languages for displaying the content of a book. Epub 3 has more than enough to be a better competitor of KFX:

1. It's based on HTML5, so you can add videos or audio files. You can have a text and audio book at the same time.
2. Supports comic books, no more need of CBZ.
3. it supports annotations internally, so you can read the epub with the same annotations even on another device. This IMMENSELY useful. If I want to share a book, I'm interested to share my annotations too.
4. For scientists and geeks, it supports SVG and MathML.

I think that if Calibre will finally support the conversion to the Epub 3 format, there will be no story for Amazon closed and proprietary formats. For now you have to edit the book, click Tools and Update the internals. Not so intuitive.

PS: well, Epub 3 has also JS. Nothing is perfect
