@apastuszak: Only if it was updated (or already available as KF8 for supported devices).
There's an 'Updated Books' (or something like that, might be 'pending updates') link that appears on the bottom of the combo box on the 'Manage Your Kindle' page if you have books flagged for update in your Archive. I don't know when they implemented this, but it's way, way better than the stupid email requesting a reply that they used before . It might also take a 'Sync & Check' for the Kindle to phone back home & notify Amazon that it's been updated and now handles KF8 files. Last edited by NiLuJe; 09-11-2012 at 02:13 PM. |

I recently pared my archive to just under 5000 in my big account. I guess I can start grabbing free books more freely, now. |

Oh, me too. I would have loved to have KF8, but I wasn't really expecting it. I imagine K3/KK sales should pick up a bit.

My husband's ebook has some KF8 formatting, so I'm going to download the sample after I upgrade the KK and see if that shows up. I don't have an Amazon-archived copy of that title to test, though, and I'm not sure which of my other archived titles have KF8. |

The overwhelming majority (I'd say at least 90%) of the books I've bought in the last few months have been KF8. Mobi-only books are becoming something of a rarity.

I have a large archive although I no longer have my K3 on my account, (Now on hubby's) I am thrill to see this fixed! Is the K3 the only Kindle to suffer from this? I can't remember. |

I'm hoping Amazon has fixed things for 3.4 so line-height works.

Humm?
On my kk3g it seems all I can do is screen rotation and nothing else as far as fonts and other options that 3.3 had? I must be missing something? |

Does KF8 have the line height "Bug" that Jon likes to throw out in almost any Kindle Touch thread? (can't check for myself my K3 isn't with me right now)
Not that the Touch bug is a huge deal since line height can be adjusted to make things look right. LOL, I see that while I was typing this Jon got in there with his expected bug post. |

@Blossom: Oops, fixed, thanks .
@AnemicOak/JSWolf: I'll check the line-height thing ASAP (need to check KF8 for compat. with the fonts hack, anyway ). |
