1. Using the latest version of Kindle for Mac, I download a Kindle book. I find its AZW in Finder and drag and drop it into Calibre.
2. After a few moments, the DRM appears to be stripped, and I'm left with a KFX file that I can edit the metadata of.
3. I edit the cover and the book description.
4. I make sure the original Kindle copy is deleted from my Oasis
5. I drag and drop the copy from Calibre onto the Oasis

After, though, the book I've now manually added to the Oasis retains the original cover and information from the eBook purchase, despite having removed the copy from the Kindle.
Alternatively, am I wasting time trying to get the best out of KFX? Effectively I want to archive my Kindle purchases; I'm using KFX as it seemed the most sensible way to do that, given its the current standard.
