The Kobo Sage is getting outdated, and the snappy performance of the Kindle Paperwhite (12th Generation) really does look appealing, but I absolutely refuse to deal with KFX. Next month, I'm buying a Kobo Sage and switching over to the Rakuten Kobo platform. I'll miss KF8 (AZW3) since it was ideal, but if that's no longer an option, KEPUB is still infinitely better than KFX.
KF8 was never ideal. It's better then KFX, but ideal? Nope. Amazon did not need KFX. They could have made a new KF8 renderer to do hyphens, kerning, and ligatures. That's what Adobe did with Digital Editions.

On the Kindles that are still getting firmware updates, the UI is a right mess. Personally, I much prefer the 6.8" PW5 to the 7" PW6. I do not like what Amazon did with the 2024 Kindles with MTP.
