English language books published in India are often only available in KFX format with unbroken DRM. I suspect that either that market is seen as particularly subject to ebook piracy or perhaps it is the trial market for a larger KFX only rollout.


Update:

The product page for the book shows "Sold by: Random House India".

I obtained the free sample from the product page. I was unable to download it using an old version of the Kindle for Android app verifying that it is KFX-only. I was able to download and read the sample using the latest version of Kindle for PC and was able to tell from the KFX voucher that it uses an even stronger encryption algorithm (V9708) than is used for regular KFX books (V11).
