They also claim to be the most customer orientated company on this world.

Ironically mobi downloads have colour covers. I don't see KFX as an improvement on AZW3. Amazon are interfering with the published work in using KFX. That's copyright violation.
What would happen if a publisher such as Tor said to Amazon that they do not want any of their eBooks in KFX unless they are truly without any sort of DRM?
