If DRM removal fails you will be left with a book in KFX-ZIP format instead of KFX format. That is the easiest way to tell if something went wrong.

You can also view the book after import to verify that it is readable. See "Viewing books in KFX format" in the KFX Input documentation for ways to do that.
Thanks very much for your reply, and amazing work on your plugins - they've been very helpful.

To give some context, this venture started because I bought a new Kindle Oasis. As per normal, I put some books into Calibre and the KFX plugin appeared to strip them of their DRM. I then altered the titles and covers of said books, and put them onto my Kindle.

When I looked at my Kindle, however, the cover art and the titles are what they were before, as if the DRM remained, or the metadata I changed in Calibre didn't carry over.

Any thoughts?
