You should be able to login to your Amazon account in the app and download it.

As far as I know that is the only way to side load KFX files to the Kindle app under iOS. Other methods require the app to have registered to accept the file type and the Kindle app does not do that for KFX.

I know there's a reason somewhere here--I've seen it--but can't find it.

What's the motive for converting DeDRM'd books to KFX as an output format? What's it giving you over AZW3 and Mobi?

After enable "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" in itnues, I can transfer KFX ebook to kindle APP. Not perfect, but no need cable any longer.

There are some features with KFX format in kindle APP , which I like them very much personally:
1. Continuous Scrolling
2. new "go back" style,
3. ...

Thanks for that information.

And this is how you can do it wirelessly from a Mac (iTunes being long gone):

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-...0.15/mac/10.15

For some reason the device doesn't immediately show up in Finder sidebar, or I haven't figured out how to get it to. But it shows up eventually.

You can also use this to send .ePub to a number of iOS reading apps (e.g. Apple Books, Kobo, Bookari, Marvin, etc.).

(unfortunately AirDrop won't work because Kindle app doesn't have a Files folder to put it in)

I don't really require Sync most of the time, so I'm probably going to use this in favor of the personal documents service going forward. I like a more consistent reading experience (including those books from Amazon that were never updated for Enhanced Typography).

It would be nice to figure out how to do this with my Fire too. There's something called AirDroid, but of course it's not in Amazon Appstore so it would be another thing to get somewhere else. I also have a crappy Samsung tablet, which I'll probably try this out on first.

Installed AirDroid on my Samsung tablet (and the Mac app) and it was pretty straightforward to send it over and move it to Kindle storage.

AirDroid is a lot more than a file transfer utility, it does remote control, screen mirroring, remote camera, etc. Don't need any of that.

Managed to install it on my Fire, and the KFX I sent over works as expected.

There's a 'quota' of 200MB (monthly) for freemium version. Probably plenty for me. $29.99(USD) per year for unlimited data and the premium features.
