Has anybody tested with Catalina and which version of Kindle for Mac works?
I heard there were still a lot of issues with it and won't be looking to upgrade for while yet, if I do decide to update.

Yes, Method 2 works for me under macOS Mojave and continues to work after the upgrade to macOS Catalina.
Details:
- I created a new installation of macOS Mojave yesterday on an external drive. I then installed Calibre 4.1.0, Kindle 1.17, the KFX Input plugin and Alf's tools 6.6.3. I confimed that everything worked as expected.
- I then installed Kindle 1.23 and followed the instructions for Method 2. I cleared the Kindle downloads, redownloaded a few books (by right-clicking and selecting 'Download') and dropped them into Calibre where they were readable. I then installed Kindle 1.26.1, repeated the chmod -x command and downloads and confirmed that redownloaded books were again readable.
- I then upgraded to macOS Catalina, again cleared the Kindle downloads, redownloaded a few books and dropped them into Calibre where they were readable.
Hope this helps.
