These files are named with both the title of the book and the ASIN. On e-ink Kindle devices connected via USB, the main file for each book is contained in the "documents" folder or sometimes in the "Downloads" subfolder of that folder.

Monolithic KFX can be converted to other formats using this plugin.Īmazon's Kindle Textbook Creator and Kindle Create software export books in KPF (Kindle Package Format), a variant of KFX. Monolithic KFX can also be produced using the KFX Output plugin. See "Importing KFX books into calibre" above for instructions. This plugin will combine the individual files that make up a KFX book into a single file (monolithic KFX format) when a KFX book is successfully imported into calibre. KFX container files typically have a ".kfx" extension, though other extensions (".azw", ".azw8", and ".azw9") are used by some software.
Those each contain only part of the book's content and cannot be converted individually. KFX DRM removal is currently only possible in specific limited situations.īooks in KFX format delivered by Amazon are a bundle of files composed of an encrypted main container, a metadata container, auxiliary containers (zero or more) and a DRM voucher. KFX DRM is actively maintained by Amazon and has been updated multiple times to keep it secure. Even books that the publisher has specified should not use DRM will be encrypted, although in that case the book will not be locked to a single device. (See the Installation instructions below.) Books delivered by Amazon in KFX format always contain DRM. See the thread Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre for details.ĭRM removal must be accomplished using a separate calibre plugin. Some cases where KF8 is not available are Arabic, Indian and Traditional Chinese language books/dictionaries, books produced using Kindle Create, Kindle in Motion books with animation, Interactive Textbooks with A/V media, and some newer eTextbooks. This plugin has limited usefulness as long as KF8 is still easily obtainable. More information about the KFX format can be found in the KFX Format thread and the MobileRead Wiki (KFX).Īmazon's KF8 (azw3) format is superior to KFX as a source for conversion since it more closely matches the original format provided to Amazon by the publisher. It supports advanced features, including Enhanced Typesetting and Page Flip, on Amazon apps and devices. The plugin can convert from several KFX variants: Monolithic KFX, KFX-ZIP, or KPF.Īmazon uses KFX format for the delivery of most e-books to customers.
The KFX Input plugin allows books in Amazon KFX format to be imported and converted to other e-book formats, such as EPUB, for archival and for reading on alternate devices.
