Now regarding Kindle for PC, if I use 1.29, I get the files imported from Amazon as "KFX_ZIP" (or "AZW_ZIP", can't remember exactly) in Calibre, they can't be read, much less converted - which doesn't happen with 1.24.
If you take a look in the Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre thread, in message #968, there's a batch file that will start Kindle for PC and disable it's ability to download KFX. Check the message before for that for the genesis of this file.

This is a workaround to 1.29's updated KFX encryption after the previous method was decrypted.
