Any books already downloaded in KFX format will no longer open and will need to be removed and re-downloaded.

You can open the Kindle.App with a rightclick on the Kindle.App and selecting something like “show package (contents)” – I have a German GUI, so I do not know the exact wording, but it is obvious when you see it. There is a file inside with nearly the same name, but if you rename it, Kindle.App does not start anymore.
Anyway, nice try, but sorry, it does not work for Mac OS X. For Windows it does only work as it is a separate exe, if it was a DLL or integrated in the Kindle.exe, I would expect the same.
