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.
That's disconcerting that a purchased book downloaded as text. Ssholloway, can you elaborate a little on what you received for the purchased book? Was it a plain text (.txt) file, .rtf or something else? Did it contain all the text from the book or was anything lost? How was the formatting? Did you receive any graphics?

I think the important point here isn't that ssholloway downloaded a Kindle Unlimited book but that a purchased book downloaded as text!! Hopefully this was an error of some sort and not a sign of where Amazon is headed.
