      That makes sense to me. Access speed and disc space are often inversely related. It’s like pre-optimizing the file for faster consumptionater by adding more information at “compile time” vs “run time”.

        A source to read more about this and how exactly kfx works and it’s enhanced typesetting would be cool.

        Do you know of alternative methods of producing kfx files other than the official Amazon app and Calibre’s plugins for it?

        And how would I go about editing a kfx file?
