It is thought that KF8 never came to iOS because it is based on an outdated version of WebKit and Apple specifically disallows apps from containing their own version of WebKit. Instead Amazon created AZK/KCR format which is very similar to KF8 but uses the HTML renderer built into iOS. This is not an issue for KFX because it is not based on HTML.

Amazon could convert customer's EPUBs to KFX or AZK/KCR but they don't. Responsibility for that lies totally with Amazon.
