Download and transfer gave TextEdit file instead of AZW file
Very strange indeed, I just used 'download and transfer via USB' to access one of my kindle books as I'm interested in translating it so want to convert the file format first.

Instead of downloading it as the AZW file as usual, it's downloaded as a 'TextEdit' file, which is full of gobbledegook.

I tried again, this time selecting a different device as the destination (in the unlikely even that that made a difference), with the same result.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Does anyone know why it happened?

Does anyone know what I can do fix this?

Can I do anything to convert the TextEdit file into a readable format?

I'm using a Mac, so it might be something to do with that...
