This might be a plugin-only issue ... in which case, there's a separate thread in the calibre forum for it. We'll see. I'm not sure memory management was ever a very big priority with KindleUnpack, so the huge filesize itself could definitely be the culprit.

I suggest trying the standalone KindleUpack program available in the first post of this thread. If that successfully unpacks the AZW4, then clearly I need to see what the plugin is doing wrong/different.

Let's go from there. I frankly don't want to try and deal with a 300+Mb test file.

Also, try just unpacking the AZW4 to an external folder (with the plugin) rather than "Extracting" the PDF. See what shows up in that folder.
