You can determine whether or not a book is in KFX format in Kindle for PC/Mac by examining files in the content folder. Each book will be in a separate subfolder named by the ASIN of the book. Books in KFX format will have a DRM voucher file named something like "amzn1.drm-voucher.v1.f693cd65-a272-454d-967a-5c2073b6e605.voucher" in their folder.

It takes a few steps to turn KFX support on or off. Basically you need to exit the Kindle for PC/Mac program, enable/disable render-test (using rename on PC or chmod on Mac), restart the program, delete any books you want to switch formats on, and then re-download those books.
