Hello, I am trying to figure out how to actually view the files that get created by this plugin

It seems that kindle for pc 1.24.3 has started to download books as KFX format instead of the azw3 format, so i installed the plugin into calibre and it worked fine

i can see in the hex editor that the book is there, but if i open it in calibre it shows garbled text, like a bunch of UUIDs, and kindle previewer 3 seems to not recognize the kfx extension, and when i change the extension to something like 'kpf' (one of the ones it says it supports), it actually crashes the app, heh

any advice?
You might want to read the sticky Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre and pay special attention to the content of post #1.

Quick suggestion would be to remove the KFX books from calibre and delete them from your Kindle library. Close Kindle for PC, rename the renderer-test.exe executable to renderer-test.exe.dnu (or whatever other change you want to make to the file extension). Re-download the books you previously deleted from your library and check the download to check that you now have a file with an extension of azw (B002RI9B76_EBOK.azw in a directory called B002RI9B76_EBOK as an example) in each directory. Don't worry about any .apnx or .phl files in those directories. Re-import to calibre.
