Note: Direct KFX and PDF generation are relatively new features, so various hiccups may still occur. If you encounter any issues, please create an issue on GitHub for investigation. The generator aims to preserve maximum compatibility with Kindle Previewer 3 behavior, while also intentionally supporting capabilities that Amazon's processing pipeline does not expose. Examples include predictable handling of negative margins, richer drop-cap rendering, and condensed text controlled through
html/bodyline-height processing. Good luck trying to produce something like this or this via "Send To Kindle".
