Hello,

I had all of this set up like a month ago, and then all of a sudden kindle for PC (1.24.3) started downloading my books as KFX instead of the old format, AZW3 i guess.

Anyway, i installed the calibre plugin and it works well. However, i'm not sure how I am supposed to view these? In the first post, it says to view it i can open it in calibre, however when i attempt to do that, it shows a book that is all garbled, like a bunch of UUIDs and stuff

it also said i can use Kindle Previewer 3 to open them, but when i attempt to have it open the .kfx file, it says the file extension is not supported, and when i try renaming it to something like .kpf, the application crashes, heh

The decryption DID work however, i can open the .kfx file in a hex editor and see the text to the book there, my problem is that nothing seems to be able to open the file

Any advice?
