If you have an older device, that would be KF8, without those enhancements.

I have had no trouble so far this far with any book, this year, and all have been available for download and transfer too but then I have not bought a specific 23 release, with those enhanced features so far yet, either.
So far download and transfer for USB transfer to a PW4 and PW5 gives a KF8 file. To get KFX, I have to download directly from Amazon to the device.

I suspect that jhowell is correct in that this is due to Amazon not having access to the KFX decryption key on the device when using the D&T via USB mechanism.
