I came across a book, The G Ring, published today by Amazon Original Stories that contains some new KFX (Enhanced Typesetting) internal coding that I had never seen before. It uses new capabilities to place images on a page, similar to that available in the Kindle in Motion books.

I looked at the internal metadata for the book and it was produced by KindleForAdobeInDesign-0.982, which is interesting since the current version of that plugin available for download from Amazon is v0.973.

My best guess is that a new version of that plugin will be coming soon that adds Kindle image display capabilities that are not available in documents sourced any other way.

Added: Of course Amazon might keep the new capabilities to themselves instead as they did with whatever tools were used to author Kindle in Motion books.
