Last time I looked, and I couldn't tell you when that was, there were no KFX files on my Paperwhite.
Except when side loading to my ereaders, I rarely look at them and the content of the Documents folder.
So maybe it has been going on longer than I realized. But I was also going by comments from others in this thread and many others, where they seemed to indicate that a Paperwhite 2 was still a safe bet.
I used to grab KFX files from KindleForPC, and process them through calibre, until Amazon put a stop to that, demanding a newer PC and newer version of KindleForPC. At that time, I switched to doing the
Download & Transfer via USB method. I actually wasn't aware I could get files off my device and process through calibre, only becoming aware of that when
Download & Transfer via USB was canceled.
Thus far, I have only used my Kindle Keyboard twice to do that ... not buying much from Amazon anymore, them having pissed me off too many times.
I was fully expecting to find I could do the same with my Paperwhite, but have only just gotten around to trying that, and it failed ... though I was provided with a solution.
