All the models from K3 to and including PW1 can't do KFX, but do azw3 (if updated, some didn't originally do azw3). Curiously we switched entirely to D&T when Amazon switched to KFX because we preferred the azw3. Then also it made sense for backups and later when we all got Kobo ereaders.

As we've seen, Adobe added "advanced typesetting" to ePub without changing anything about ePub. Amazon could have done the same thing with KF8 and updated the software for "advanced typesetting". There was no need at all for KFX (awful format). And one major advantage of KF8 is that when an eBook is supposed to be without DRM, it is unlike KFX that has DRM even if the publisher requested no DRM. When a publisher says no DRM, you get no DRM with ePub.
