You're again not providing anything that would substantiate your words. You're saying that it's all available elsewhere, but it's apparently not available in KOReader, it's certainly not available in AZW3. Where and on which devices is it? For myself, I can also confirm that KFX is more advanced compared to EPUB3 on Pocketbook. So where can I see what you're saying in action? It really shouldn't be that hard to take a screenshot from your devices, right? I've provided you with epub. Fonts that I used are open source. Just put the epub on your device, and take a screenshot on the same pages that I did.
And, yes you are changing your words, you went from KFX forcing the look of the books, which I'm glad to say, has been overruled, to KFX providing nothing new. In a few more posts, you'll start admitting that it offers features not present elsewhere. 
ps.
Here's same epub on my Pocketbook InkPad in its native reader. That should be one of the devices that fits "Amazon's Enhanced Typesetting does not seem to offer any typesetting features that have not been available elsewhere for years if not decades."
Ligatures work. But it again does nothing to image sizes. So they're too small in this case as well. And I can't enlarge them, either. I also didn't get the justification to work. It may be possible, but it would require tinkering with the file. Still, with KFX it all works out of the box without any fuss at all. And I think that's the biggest benefit of it. In combination with native Kindle reader, it provides simple experience that works really well in most cases. I've pretty much moved completely to epub and KOReader on my Kindle, but denying KFX's benefits, or downplaying them, is a bit silly. It's a good format. |
These aren't really format differences though. They are renderer differences. Kobo's KEPUB renderer will handle images like the KFX/AZW3 examples you have. I don't think it does ligatures however (though I think the Kobo ePub one will?).
I do wish we had better renderers in general. I don't think there's any that tick all the boxes simultaneously even on PC. Something is always left out.
