So if I find a book that doesn’t have DRM and convert it to KFX does that book automatically get DRM?

For folks who need large print, dead simple text without large size differences is what is needed. Nobody offers that as a purchasing option. I'd sure rather buy a readable book than have to edit everything myself.

It's also largely why I dropped Kindle in favour of Kobo as my vision degraded.
I’ve mainly stuck with AZW3 for now. Any thoughts on that?
