I find a Kindle looks worse then RMSDK. On a Kindle by default, you have wide L/R margins and a wide line height. With KF8 you have no kerning, no ligatures, and no hyphenation. With KFX, you have kerning, ligatures, and hyphenation. But you also have wide L/R margins and a wide line height. There is an override for the large line height in KF8 using font metrics. But KFX does not respect that and overrides it with a large line height. With KF8 you can override the large L/R margins with negative margins and you can use the calibre's Polish or the Hyphenate This! plugin to add soft-hyphens which do work well. But you still cannot enable kerning and ligatures. Also, on a Kindle, fonts look better if they have hinting.

On a Kobo, hinting is not needed. Fonts look the same hinted or not.
