One disadvantage to the Kindle is that KF8 does not support kerning and if you are used to kerning, you do notice the lack thereof. I cannot stand KFX as it makes the reading experience not all that nice because it forced the line-height to be a specific size regardless of the font.

Adobe was able to add hyphenation, kerning, and ligatures without the need for a new eBook format. Amazon could have the the same thing for KF8. But Amazon decided to create a new format raise the walled garden even more. When the publisher requests no DRM, Amazon says screw you, here it KFX with DRM.

KFX has adaptive DRM so once the DRM is cracked, it's changed to no longer be cracked.
