AZW3 or KFX?
Pretty new to converting books. I have a bunch in EPUB format, and I know that my Kindle Oasis won’t display those, so I’m going through the task of converting.
I’m pretty familiar with AZW3, but I notice KFX is now an option. Is that a better format or is there some reason to go with KFX instead of AZW3? |

KFX - enhanced typography
AZW3 - the FONT_RAMP hack (custom font sizes) If you don't care about either, then it doesn't really matter which one you use. |

The WordDumb plugin can create the files needed to enable Word Wise and X-ray for either format.
The Amazon web page Enhanced Typesetting and Page Flip describes the features enabled by using KFX format. |
