It may happen, it may not. Either way, there is no telling when, so that isn't a solution for you NOW. When you try to add a KFX book to calibre, calibre should warn you that you cannot add it and direct you to http://amazon.com/manageyourkindle where you can download the AZW3. |

FWIW, I've acquired a new Fire tablet (gosh, it seems SLOW compared to my three-year-old Fire HD), and my books look just fine. I'll go over them more carefully when I am on the road next week, but so far the results of the automagical hyphenation haven't caused me any heart palpitations. So from the point of view of an author, KFX seems a seamless advance from KF8.
(My books are fairly routine, no media queries or like that.) |

At present that, true, yes, although I would expect KFX support to be added to these applications shortly.

What's logical is there are more people out there who want smaller setting (margins/line-height) than would ever use the third set of settings. So why not change the third set of settings to what more people want?

Since neither you nor Amazon seem willing to share their data, the rest of us can only guess. And my guess is that Amazon is right, since they've sold more ereaders than you have. |

It would seem to me that the ability to have 0 margins on the flat-screen Voyage would make good sense because there is no bezel or bezel shadow to obscure the text. As such, one would be able to use the whole screen for text. In any case, why not add it? People don't have to use it. I can see no good reason for not adding the option.

Adding features for the sole justification that "why not add it, people don't have to use it" is a terrible idea. |
