The code view was also much less complex and did not assign a "class" to each individual paragraph. In short, it is a much cleaner eBook. The conversion to ePub proceeded without incident and seems to be perfect. I then did the same on my PC (v1.17.1), re-downloaded the eBook (which came in as an AZW3, as well), and it displayed perfectly as well as converted to ePub as I hoped.
It's good that you were able to find a solution.

And thanks for reporting the problem. Looking at that book I was able to determine that an error in the handling of font names during KFX conversion led to the bad rendering you experienced using the calibre e-book viewer in Windows. I will update the plugin so that this does not happen in the future.
