Converting AZW3 to KFX; any reason not to?
Hi all,
You may have seen my recent thread regarding page breaks and linespacing on the Oasis 2; this is a new thread, as it concerns a slightly different question. I've decided the best way to achieve my desired outcome is editing the CSS of an AZW3 book. My question is, are there detriments to then converting this AZW3 to KFX to fully utilise the KFX features; or am I better off keeping it as an AZW3? |

Moved to the Kindle Formats forum, where questions about Kindle books, rather than Kindles themselves, belong.

Are you using the features of KFX? I'm only asking because I do not and wondering if you're worried about wanting those features in the future.
For me my biggest obsession is getting ragged right margins. With the Kindle I can turn that on in the settings for KFX books. But I also download the books from the web page rather than using the send to thing, and then convert the AZW3 file to EPUB, then convert it back to AZW3, and tell calibre to use ragged right (left) justification and to remove spacing between paragraphs. Using ragged right margins can give the rendering machine more wiggle when laying out the page without having to use obvious big spaces between words. Which is an issue for me because I need to turn up the size of the text. |
