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.
I know you don't get kerning with KF8. But you can get hyphenation by adding sort hyphens And one thing you cannot do with KFX that you can do with KF8 is reduce the line spacing by using a font that has the metadata for a smaller line height such as ChareInk6 or ChareInk6SP both available at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056
