This is odd. Doing the download over usb for one KFX book gives me an azw3 file but for two other KFX books I get text files. The first and second books are purchases, while the third is a KindleUnlimited book. I don't see anything that indicates why one KFX book downloads as azw and others as text.

BTW, the text file for the purchased KFX book is named with the title of the book but the text file for the KU KFX book is named FSDownloadContent. Perhaps this is just a difference between purchased and KU books.

At least Kindle for Mac is still downloading KFX books in azw format so that's the route I'll use to save my purchases until KforM starts supporting KFX. Perhaps by then someone will have figured out the KFX format.
