I am continuing to work on a KFX conversion output plugin for calibre based on Kindle Previewer 3.0. I would like the plugin to support Mac OS so I am asking here for some help with that.

Under Windows the EPUB to KDF conversion function is activated by the Previewer running:

Code:

jre\bin\java.exe lib/EpubToKFXConverter-1.0.jar;lib/* com.amazon.kfxconverter.app.KFXGenApp ...

With a working directory of:

Code:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc

I need to know the equivalent working directory and command line for Mac OS. And also whether there is anything else unusual about running the Previewer under that OS, such as environment variables that need to be set.

Thanks for any help from Mac OS gurus.
