So yes those ebooks have been on my device a long time, most of them, and they never used to be KFX.
My Paperwhite has also been pretty full for a long time, and usually I need to remove something to add a new purchase, but I always seem to be chasing my tail. I free up space, and then before I know it that space has disappeared, which could be an indicator of space being used up with the larger KFX format. So perhaps lack of space, limited conversion to KFX.
So one of the issues on an old Paperwhite that has limited storage space, is having large ebook files (KFX), when I'd much rather they were the smaller AZW or AZW3.
So that's one of the horrors, and also why I, like others probably, did not expect KFX to turn up on that device.
The other horror, is KFX is harder to remove DRM from. I can no longer do so on this particular PC, as I need a more recent version of calibre and the NoDRM plugin and KFXIn plugin, neither of which are supported on this PC. I can get around that on my newer laptop, but I'm not setup for that yet.

Have you ever tried Linux. Xubuntu works on older computers. Version 24.04 (year and month) is supported for 3 years and supports the latest calibre. I haven't tried kindle 2.40 yet on it . You use a program called wine to install windows programs.
