I'm at 10.14.3 (18D109). Calibre 3.40.1. DeDRM version 6.6.1. Kindle 1.25.2 Last updated on 1/1/2019.

I just rechecked the whole thing. If I set chmod -x ./renderer-test, then I get a single file azw (for some books there are apnx, phl and mbpV2 files) but I'm able to import into calibre and read them. If it's +x then its a no-go.

However I just checked on another mac, which never had kindle for mac installed and synced to a different amazon account and setting -x did not help. Even though it downloads single-file azw and calibre can read the metadata, I cannot open and read the book. This was K4M 1.25.2 and DeDRM 6.6.2

I have a suspicion that since I set -x on K4M 1.23 and then let it update to 1.25, I just got lucky.
