I specifically didn't want the KFX format when I used Kindles. KFX doesn't work with the FONT_RAMP hack which was essential to me, it has a fixed line height that's larger than I prefer, and it uses hyphenation which I hate. So I would certainly not use Send to Kindle if I had a Kindle.

Anyway, it seems pretty unlikely I'll ever buy a Kindle again, as Amazon got rid of the Oasis, their only buttoned device, and doesn't seem to be planning to replace it. They might decide to release a color Kindle at some point, but unless they dramatically improve the current color tech, I won't be interested in that, especially if it has no buttons.
