The best looking eBook settings are to use a L/R margin of -45px in html in the CSS, use the Hyphenate This! plugin to add hyphens, install ChareInk font for a smaller line-height. and finally use KF8 (AZW3) as your eBook format and forget KFX. That will (IMHO) give you a better reading experience on your Kindle the KFX.
You will get a smaller line-height, smaller L/R margins, hyphens, and a nice font to read with.

This is the first of a series of Buddhist Canon books, that use a special font for the diacritical Pali marks. It's strange to read that mobi does not do hyphenation, as I do recall seeing Kindle books that hyphenate. The Kindle Voyager device does not sideload KFX files for some reason, although I am able to export them from the KP3 program. Perhaps it's too old?
Adding hyphens through a plugin. That's a novel idea. I was under the impression that most ereaders harbored dictionaries which allowed them to intelligently hyphenate, if the option was set in the CSS. Apple Books further allows the reader to manually toggle the hyphenation, whereas the Adobe desktop software hardly ever shows any hyphens. Using the calibre plugin to Hyphenate This! (HT) does not change either program's behavior. Of course, here I'm talking about ePub, whereas I am asking specifically about the Kindle, which is somewhat of a new phenomenon in my country.
Is the HT plugin meant specifically for the Kindle?

A book that supports Enhanced Typesetting (ET) will be delivered to newer apps and devices in KFX format instead of MOBI or KF8. KFX format enables hyphenation, page flip, and the other ET features.

Do I understand correctly, that although the KP3 exported mobi does not hyphenate, the eventual Amazon offering based upon the epub still might?
