The only KFX free ebooks are home made and even with Calibre the KFX output tool seems to need an Amazon program that's not available on Windows.

KFX is useless.
Mobi or AZW books don't have pairkerning, so so far I have downloaded all purchases from Amazon as AZW and converted them to KFX with Calibre. You need the Kindle Previewer for this, which is also available for Windows: https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previe...de=21381691011

If I don't get AZW files from Amazon anymore (so far it works for me even for books published in January 2023), I buy EPUBs without hard copy protection and convert them to KFX because the typeface is better.

Otherwise, I hope someone manages to remove the hard copy protection from KFX. I would never buy an ebook that I can't edit. Most ebooks are poorly formatted.
