Yeah, .azw isn't Topaz, at least not that I've ever encountered.

I am baffled, because the "Decoding Reality" e-book I downloaded to my Kindle for PC has a file name with .azw as its extension, and when I examine the contents of that file, using Notepad, the first 4 characters are 'TPZ0'. I assume that means it's a Topaz e-book.

So far, it looks as if I have some mysterious problem with my Python setup, both under Windows and under Mac OS X. I am communicating with S via PM's in this forum to try to work out what the solution is. When we come up with something useful, I'll post it to this thread.
Meanwhile, the following may be useful to anyone looking in this thread for help:

I launch it and click on the "Read Backups" button to see "Eric's iPhone" in a drop-down list. Selecting it and clicking on the "Choose" button, I am presented with a list of the apps on my iPhone. I locate "Kindle" in the list of apps and click on the "Extract" button. A navigation dialog appears, allowing me to navigate to (say) my Desktop and to click on the "Extract Here" button. A folder called com.amazon.Lassen (the 'Lassen' means what?) appears on my Desktop, and its window opens in Finder. In that window I see a Library folder and a Documents folder. Within the latter are three folders: cache, eBooks, and LibraryCovers. in the eBooks folder are, for every e-book I have in the Kindle for iPhone app, three files.

So far, though, I can't get these scripts to work. More later ...
