Thanks, that might lead to an optimal workflow for apnx repair. I'm currently having trouble with kindleunpack best dealt with in the kindleunpack thead, but I'm tied up on a bunch of other things at the moment.

But it does seem a bit ironic that the original apnx file isn't even required to make a good one. This implies that for books with page id targets transferred over USB, a "real page number" apnx file can be automatically generated without having to leave airplane mode to get one from amazon.
