Two things: 1. Why do I keep seeing questions about KFX output? Kindle devices can still read mobi and azw(#) files. If you download a book you bought ages ago, it will be some form of KFX. If you want to read a new KFX book, just download it to your device.

And 2: Is anybody working on a deDRM for the KFX-ZIP files. What make some files come through as KFX and others KFX-Zip. JFX files can be read directly in Calibre, can be converted to epub or mobi so Count Pages works. It's the KFX-ZIP files that are driving ME crazy.

1. Some people want to read their sideloaded books in the KFX format.

2. There are no separate KFX and KFX-ZIP formats. If you're getting KFX-ZIP, that means your deDRM setup is not working. Some books have no DRM to begin with. What method are you using to deDRM Kindle books?

KFX is the eBook with no DRM.

KFX-ZIP is either an incomplete KFX or the DRM could not be removed. Sometimes the KFX is not fully downloaded when it's being added to calibre. Also, some just copy the .kfx file and not the other pieces. On a Kindle, KFX is not a single file.

There is a new DRM that DeDRM cannot remove. The new Kindle firmware supports this new DRM. So does K4MAC. K4PC has it as well, but there is a way to remove the DRM which is Windows only.

MOBI is a terrible old format that has little use today unless you have a very old Kindle that only supports it. Now the main use is as a dual-format container for comics, etc.

That's most likely because Kindle Create was used to create those eBooks. Kindle Create is garbage.
