Kindle Unpack didn't work too well for the Japanese Kindle version of Fantastic Beasts. Tried it several times. Each time there were missing pages.

So I had to go back to the regular method of converting the azw file to a kepub after stripping it of its DRM.

Played around with the conversion process a bit. Was eventually able to get all the text showing. Not formatted quite as nicely as the Kindle version, but it all seems to be there with no clipped kana/kanji. And the lookup dictionaries I have installed all work well with it. The horizontal alignment of the text is not a problem. Am very glad that the furigana are all there. So I am very well pleased.

I suspect part of the problem I was initially having with clipped and missing characters was due to the fact that the book in question is a play so its layout is a little different than your average book.

May try the Kindle Unpack method with a regular Japanese book sometime. But for now, have plenty to keep myself occupied.
