Yes, there are issues. Off the top of my head:

It is not a user-friendly solution. It requires knowledge of developer tools, like sed.

It applies only to AZW3 (KF8) format. Most Kindle devices have their Amazon-sourced books in KFX format these days and while KF8 can be downloaded from Amazon and sideloaded to the Kindle there are disadvantages to doing that.


As I wrote, it is a start. Given that most of the responses so far relate to the technical details of the file format rather than the capabilities of the project I suspect that there is not enough general interest to take this much further.
