Yeah. I did a little more testing. I had a book with some illustrations in it (one of the Lord of the Rings releases) and noticed in my azw3 file when I opened it in Calibre the illustrations were color and when I instead opened the kfx imported file (converted to epub) that the illustrations were grayscale. Obviously, I'm happy I have my azw3 files downloaded and for most of my books it isn't a big deal but will be something to remember in future.

Thanks. I will make note of this!
