I didn't see it mentioned earlier, but it looks like all personal docs (or at least ePubs and PDFs, which are the only ones I've tried) get converted to KFX files for download to the Scribe (which would also explain why you have to send PDFs to an email address to get them off the Scribe). As a happy side-effect, this means personal documents now seem to have enhanced typesetting...
Wonder if this will be true for all Kindles (and Kindle apps) at some point. I would welcome it.

I don't use Kindle for reading PDFs, it would make no difference to me if they got converted to fixed-layout KFX, as long as they have the same appearance and allowed annotation (currently not supported in Kindle apps). Exporting to PDF would be a bonus, especially if they become standard PDFs with standard PDF annotation that can be used anywhere.

Seems this could potentially be a way of supporting Print Replica as well, instead of hacking the existing PDF renderer or adding another one.
