Managed to buy a Japanese Kindle edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them off of the Canadian Amazon site. With the exchange rate, the price would have been about the same as buying it from Amazon's Japanese site.
Stripped the DRM off it and then converted it to epub format using Calibre.
Just as AiiroMercury had earlier noted, the conversion process converted the vertical alignment of the text to a horizontal alignment. This also seems to have affected the spacing of the lines so that there is a lot more wasted space. However, from a cursory glance, everything seems to be there, including the furigana.
I then used Kepubify to convert the epub file to a kepub file and then loaded it onto my KA1. Apart from the odd kana/kanji being slightly cut off on the lefthand side, it is readable. I can adjust the size of the font. I can change the font. I can use the dictionary to look up unfamiliar terms. I can use the navigation bar.
It doesn't really bother me that the alignment of the text is now horizontal so long as it is all there and I can use the dictionary.
Now I will have to learn how to use Calibre to adjust the spacing of the lines. That will be a project for another day when I am less busy.
