For the record: there is never an "embedded" epub in a KF8 book just waiting to be extracted. Kindleunpack is merely building an epub from the html, css and index data that is extracted from the binary Kindlebook. It strives to make as little alteration to the markup as possible, but it IS generating some of its own content. It HAS to. A binary Kindlebook has no internal file names, and links point to numeric offsets in the binary file. So Kindleunpack must generate file names, and link ids. Depending on the original source for conversion, the resulting epub from Kindleunpack might not even be valid.
I don't mean to be overly-dramatic, I just want to make sure people understand. There IS an embedded pdf file in an azw4 that Kindleunpack merely "extracts." The creation of an epub from a KF8 kindlebook is bit more involved than "releasing the epub trapped inside."
