Hi, I have a few questions regarding this KFX conversion feature.

I'm in Japan, using Kindle PW (11gen) with the latest firmware.

I've checked and confirmed that I get KFX now sending epub and it happend to me two days ago, but it happens with only English books, not the Japanese ones. (They are still azw3.) Does anyone have any idea why that is? They are epubs bought directly from Kobo (Rakuten books), and I've tried two or three books and they are still azw3 (a 3x3 grid of dots is grayed out). Actually as long as I get bold text I'm okay so I don't mind, but I do wonder why the Japanese books can't be converted to KFX, and I'm a little bit worried if azw3 won't be supported anymore in the future. (If that won't happen then I'm content!)

One more question; when does this conversion happen? While sending epubs to cloud, or downloading them? I'm asking this because I sent several times to check if I get KFX, but I wonder if a book is once in the cloud then re-downloading is enough (is that when the conversion happens?)?

Thank you in advance!
