Amazon KFX is the new format for the Kindle evolved – HDblog (Blog)

The updated firmware that has installed the new rendering engine on Amazon Voyage Kindle, Kindle 2 and Kindle Paperwhite base, marked the introduction of a new format file for ebook compatible . KFX , or Kindle Format 10, adds to previous AZW, AZW3 and KF8 and, according to Amazon, is already used in “hundreds of thousands” of books.

But to start using it, and then take advantage of the technical innovations that allow you to make the most Bookerly, hyphenation, character spacing, and justification, kerning, ligature and support for drop cap – in short, the improvements in the layout, not just update player software.

We must first understand if the ebook is compatible, if it is already available in the format KFX; then to download it again from the cloud Amazon – if it’s already part of the memory of our device.

Amazon has added a new entry to the “Product Details” of ebooks to Kindle Store. In the US it is called Enhanced Typesetting, in Italy is translated as typing system enhanced . This is to help us understand if the e-book in question has been converted or not. One more thing you do not forget if you want to take advantage of the new rendering of formatted pages.

Be careful, however, to conversions with Calibre and the management of the ebook with software library “external”. Many international users report errors and incompatibility with KFX, and that means you have to wait a bit ‘of time before we have a complete adaptation to the new format of e-books from Amazon.
