Info on new .kfx format:

If you USB download a Kindle eBook with enhanced typesetting, you can remove the DRM no problem. i downloaded two eBooks with Firefox and they worked perfectly for removing the DRM. I have no idea if they came through with .azw3 file extensions.

I'm on vacation and don't have access to a laptop. Is there anyway to force the Voyage to check for and update the firmware through WiFi?

I deleted a kfx book that showed enhanced typesetting from my kindle and then used the USB download option for the same book to sideload it. The downloaded book was in azw3 format, not kfx. None of the enhanced typesetting features were present in the sideloaded book. So it looks like kfx can only be delivered directly to a kindle.

OK I just deleted one of my books that I side loaded to my PW2 and then I sent it to my PW2 by the way of caliber and amazon cloud and it has the uneven right side and does not have all of the wide spaces in the lines that I had with the side loaded book. I for one like the uneven right side of the page.

I can also report that the attempt to copy the .kfx file to my Voyage was unsuccessful, no matter how I tried to do it. The Voyage just refused to see it. Shari |

So it seems to either be a bug or my PW3 (if no one else has this specific issue). |

I can also confirm that the Font_Ramp hack doesn't work with the new format. It does work with the update--any .azw3 format books that I have on my device work fine with the adjusted font sizes, but the new .kfx format does not recognize the adjusted sizes.

It is my understanding that the DRM key is different for each device and each app that you have. So you cannot copy a ebook from your kindle for pc to one of the kindle devices or between two different kindles that you own. I may be wrong but that was the way it was when I started messing with Amazon ebooks.

This is starting (maybe) to get like the B&N situation.

There are plenty of DRM free books with enhanced typesetting. This one is free:
amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMLL63O I downloaded it for sideloading, unpacked it, didn't see anything special but as people point out maybe you have to deliver directly. I have not tried copying it off of the device to see what is going on. |
