Personally I used AZW3 when I had Kindles, because the FONT-RAMP hack was essential to me, but it's very much a matter of personal preference.

Like mentioned send to converts to kfx.
Any plusses to AZW3 that KFX doesn't have? I already spent several days doing conversion and I really don't want to believe my hard work was for nothing.

Like is it worth going through the trouble to reconvert them to KFX at this point?
