Dear Mr. Goyal,
     I understand and agree with your point on this "bug". However, you
might consider detecting and displaying the "book" in Calibre with a
note that the kfx format is not supported to avoid confusion in the
users mind.

  Kudos on a fabulous application, I love the way Calibre does its job
in such a direct and intuitive way.
