Hi, everyone!

I just imported an azw3 book from my 2012 Kindle Paperwhite into Calibre 4.18, and noticed that images weren't loading. The cover .jpeg was fine, but all images in the book itself were there but broken.

Opening the book in edit mode, all those images have the file extension .unknown, which I *assume* is the problem! The editing interface doesn't even list them as images, understandably: it calls them miscellaneous files.

Is this a known issue? How did I manage do it, and is there a way to restore the images?

Many thanks in advance for any help.
