You have a couple of alternatives.

When you find a book in KFX format in My Kindle Content you could zip the content of the book's folder, rename that to have a .kfx-zip extension and put that file in the auto add folder, instead of just the main book file.

Or you could write a new calibre File Type plugin that would be activated when you put something in the auto-add folder and would then perform the actions described above, searching My Kindle Content for a matching book folder, zipping it up, etc.
I'll have to see if I can create an Automator script to zip up the files.

I've wanted to get into plugin writing. I have an infatuation with k2pdfopt and now this file type plugin idea. So, I may look around the forums on where to get started on plugin development. I know Python but definitely not an expert.

Thanks.
