You are a genius! I did as you suggested, and that's exactly what's happening.
I downloaded a book without opening it, and got an .azw/KF8.
I then disconnected from the Internet and opened the book. A few seconds later the KF8 disappeared and a .kcr appeared. Since my Internet was disconnected, it obviously wasn't downloaded.
This all makes so much more sense now. When KFX is blocked using chmod -x to disable renderer-test, K4Mac 1.25.2 downloads a KF8, then when you go to open the book, it converts it to KCR.
The question is why has Amazon switched from KF8 to KCR as the alternate format when KFX is blocked?
Also, whenever I close 1.25.2, it crashes with a "Quit Unexpectedly" warning. I'm guessing this is because I disabled renderer-test. This doesn't happen with 1.23.1.
