The firmware to add KF8 to the K3/KK was released in September 2012 no later then the 14th.

Between its two modes, the PW3 three modes and the DXG brain dead rendering I have a decent selection of Kindles to test on. Serious reading is on the Kobo Libra as seemed a good upgrade from the original H2O (which is out on loan to a proofreader). So a 2008 model doing KFX or Enhanced typesetting seems unlikely. Unless it's a 2018 model. |

AFAIK, the oldest Kindle model that supports KFX (with the latest firmware) is the 6th generation Kindle Paperwhite (AKA Paperwhite 2), which was released in 2013.

Given the age of KF8 firmware for the K3/KK, I'm wondering what's different with K8 in the current firmware other then more fonts and custom fonts. |

Well,dude or dudette, y'know, people have been locked up and locked down for nearly the duration of an entire pregnancy, and we're all getting pretty bonkers and pretty bored. I'm sure you can forgive the short diversion from the topic.

I just wanted to say that my original question was about a book published in 2008 — and that date is correct, not a typo — and it's not about a Kindle device from any era ![]() |
