Ha!

I got to thinking -- always dangerous.

My Kindle Content folder is huge. Huge. More than 25,000 files. So I got to thinking that maybe the app was choking on all those files, especially since the app now tries to convert old-format files to kcr.

So I moved all the files into a "Kindle temp" folder, except for one file that I left as a test.

Et voila! Now the app starts up just fine, and I didn't have to do a clean install of Catalina or anything.

The app just updated to 1.27.0. Now I'm going to try adding the old files back into the main folder a few at a time, and see what happens. Then I'll try re-issuing the chmod command, and see what happens after that.

So much excitement!

ETA: Okay, reinstalling the chmod instructions worked fine. I can now download and convert azw files again. Hurrah!
