Fans of left-align / "ragged right" text should be locked-away in the same room as fans of reading with sans-serif font.

If so then you will need to edit the book to remove or replace the images that are causing conversion to fail.
now that I'm in the correct thread... are images not supported converting from epub to kfx?

or are there image formats not supported? these are .jpeg (exsct extension). and it seems to be all of them in the book.

JPEG images are certainly supported. I suggest posting a conversion log from a book that fails. (Put the text in "spoiler" tags.) It will be easier to tell what is going wrong from that.

It hasn't happened to me, at least not that I have noticed. If you discover anything else that could help me to reproduce the problem please post again here.
Okay, thank you. It's not a big deal. I get all the expanded typography features, which is what I care about. I appreciate your work on this plugin. I buy all my books from Kobo and then sideload, and it's nice to get basically the same features as books purchased from Amazon.

I knew it was not the most helpful of bug reports. I posted it mostly in case someone else had a similar experience but perhaps a better idea of the cause.

My covers are not showing in KFX format sideloaded books created using @jhowell's plugin. All other things like enhanced typesetting etc. are A-OK.

I manually set Amazon ASIN(rechecked it is correct, showing correct book in browser when searching using ASIN) in the book's metadata, converted it and sideloaded, yet it shows the generic thumnail.

My firmware version is 5.9.2 and I am using the latest build of the plugin.

Do you have wifi on? The way the covers work with sideloaded KFX files is that the Kindle downloads the cover from Amazon corresponding to the ASIN. If you have wifi off, you won't get the covers.

If you don't like leaving wifi on, you can turn if off after the covers download.

I just tried it on a book in my calibre library and it worked for me using the same kindle firmware.

Suggestions:

Make sure that you have a Wi-Fi connection so that the kindle can download the cover from Amazon.

Verify that the ASIN is correct and the book is not marked as a person document by long pressing the cover thumbnail and selecting "View on Goodreads". That should take you to a screen showing the Goodreads information for the book.

Wifi on: Check!

"View on Goodreads" and "Book description" option both showing correct book info. My device is KOA2.

Bro, don't say/be sorry, you have made an excellent plugin we are the one's leeching off your good work. It may be an error on my part, let me reinstall calibre and report back.

Another thing you can try is opening your file manager and navigating to where the Kindle stores the thumbnails and deleting the thumbnail that corresponds to your book. You're gonna have to configure your file manager to show hidden files and the like.

I reinstalled calibre, then converted the books again, now some are showing proper covers(Catch 22,Fountainhead etc) but for some there is still the eyesore generic thumbnail (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy etc.)

Both types of books(with proper covers showing/not showing) have correct amazon ids set, show accurate "book description" on both Goodreads and Amazon store( and yes, they are available in my amazon region)
